Tsurinoya Temptor 50mm Lipless VIB Vibration Bait
Tsurinoya Temptor 50mm Lipless VIB Vibration Bait
The Tsurinoya Temptor is a 50mm lipless vibration bait built for fast, efficient bass coverage. Its compact, dense body casts far and sinks quickly, letting you reach depth and start working the strike zone without delay. Internal rattles and a tight, high-frequency shimmy call fish in from a distance, even in stained or cold water.
This VIB shines when bass are grouped tight to structure or holding deep during winter and early spring. Yo-yo it through brush piles, rip it off grass edges, or burn it for reaction strikes on active fish. The sinking design lets you fish it at any depth on the fall, making it a versatile addition for anglers targeting largemouth and smallmouth around ledges, rock piles, and creek channels.

How to fish it
- Cast far and let the lure sink to the desired depth, counting it down for consistency.
- Work it with a slow lift-and-fall or yo-yo motion through brush piles and rock structure.
- Rip it sharply off grass edges or hard bottom to trigger reaction bites from following bass.
- Burn it with a steady fast retrieve near the surface when bass are actively feeding.
Frequently asked
The compact 50mm body suits both largemouth and smallmouth bass, and works well for finicky winter fish as well as aggressive active biters.
Use natural shad or silver patterns in clear water and darker or more contrasted colors in stained or murky water for better visibility.
A medium to medium-heavy rod paired with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon line gives good feel for the vibration and enough backbone for hooksets.
It performs especially well in cold water and winter conditions, but it also produces year-round for both largemouth and smallmouth bass on reaction bites.
