Nishine Lure Works BQ Otama - Topwater

Nishine Lure Works BQ Otama - Topwater is a purpose-built wakebait for bass that rewards calm, controlled fishing when the bite turns reckless and fish are striking hard.

Hiroshi developed it after bass were inhaling the lure so deeply that a traditional treble risked injury. The answer is a Kamakiri Double hook made with Ichikawa Hooks. Fish it “BQ”—be quiet: reel slowly and wait to feel full weight before you set. With Nishine Lure Works BQ Otama - Topwater, quick reactions cost fish.

Why Bass Anglers Love It

• Keeps fish safer on aggressive eaters, thanks to the double-hook setup designed to reduce deep hooking.
• Boosts landing consistency on slow-wake bites, because it’s built for a patient pull and a delayed hookset.
• Helps cover water with a steady, surface-waking presence, giving you a reliable track to run over shallow targets.
• Brings a different look than a typical bass crankbait, with a tadpole-inspired profile and swim that bass commit to.
