Nikko Kasei Nikko Tairubber Basic Red Basic Set: The Next Generation of Sliding Tenya
The Nikko Kasei Tairubber Basic is a cutting-edge sliding Tenya system that bridges the gap between traditional Japanese bait fishing and modern soft plastic technology. At Gerrys Fishing, we find the Red Basic Set to be a stand-out performer for targeting bottom-dwelling predators. This lure is not just a jig; it is a highly customizable platform featuring Nikkos world-famous, super-durable material and a uniquely engineered head that adapts to the days fishing conditions.
The Basic Set is designed for maximum effectiveness in both fresh and saltwater, specifically targeting Snapper, Bass, Bream, and Zander.
Engineering & Innovative Action
-
Two-Way Hybrid Head Design: The newly perfected head allows for a 2-way action. Depending on the retrieve speed and rod angle, it can produce a slow subtle wobble for wary fish or a faster, more aggressive wobble to trigger reflex strikes in active predators.
-
Proprietary Super-Soft Octopus: Behind the head sits Nikkos legendary Octopus bait. This material is incredibly soft and super stretchy, allowing the legs to flutter and quiver with the slightest movement, mimicking the mesmerizing action of a live cephalopod.
-
Infused Natural Scent: The material is not just scented on the surface; the all-natural fish attractants are built into the material. You can refresh the scent simply by giving the bait a good stretch.
-
Swallow-Safe & Eco-Friendly: Unlike traditional PVC lures that can swell and harm wildlife if swallowed, Nikkos soft plastics are swallow-safe and biodegradable, making them a responsible choice for the modern angler.

Tactical Applications & Customization
The Tairubber Basic represents just the beginning of a modular series. The Gerrys team suggests:
-
The Boat-Drift Undulation: In saltwater, allow the boats drift and the pull emitted by the boats daggerboard to work the lure. The sliding head will undulate sideways on its own, creating a natural movement that attracts Snapper and Bass.
-
Modular Customization: Use the internal cavity of the octopus head to add Nikkos scent balls or pin-straight worms as trailers. These additional attractants create nearly endless options to match the local forage.
-
Durability for High-Volume Catching: Nikko materials are famous for being long lasting through many fish. It is common to achieve well over 100 catches per bait, offering incredible cost performance compared to standard soft plastics.
-
Slow-Pitch Jigging: Use a slow-pitch rod to lift and drop the lure. On the fall, the flared appendages flutter enticingly, which is often when predators like Zander and Cod will commit to the strike.
Gerrys Verdict:
The Nikko Kasei Tairubber Basic Red Basic Set is a high-value addition for any technical angler. Its ability to adjust between subtle and aggressive actions, combined with the extreme durability of Nikkos scented material, makes it a formidable tool for boat fishing. If you want a lure that stays effective catch after catch and offers genuine innovation, the Tairubber series is the way forward
