The FISH MAGNET OCTOPUS isn’t just another multi-arm soft bait.
Its concept goes back more than a decade to a rig developed by legendary Japanese angler Takuma Hata. Multiple straight-tail worms were originally bundled together to create a unique “octopus-style” profile—combining subtle movement with strong water displacement.
It worked, but rigging it was slow and inconsistent.
This bait turns that same idea into a single, integrated soft plastic—keeping the action, removing the setup.
Wacky Style – Natural Fall That Stays Alive

The wacky-style setup is the most natural way to fish the FISH MAGNET OCTOPUS.
On the fall, the arms immediately start moving with no effort from the angler. The bait doesn’t just drop—it pulses all the way down.
This is where the design really shows itself. Even with minimal movement, the arms stay active, creating a slow, subtle presence that works well on pressured fish or suspended targets.
Best used when:
- Fish are high in the water column
- Conditions are clear and slow
- You need a natural, non-aggressive fall

(*Use the weight from the Bow Head and replace it with the Super Captain hook with guard)
This is where the bait becomes more than just a finesse option.
On the bottom or around structure, the FISH MAGNET OCTOPUS still keeps moving even when it’s not being actively worked. Each arm reacts independently to subtle rod inputs or water movement.
With a rig like a guarded hook or weighted setup, it can be fished through rock, wood, and cover without losing its action.
Best used when:
- Fishing structure or hard cover
- Fish are tight to the bottom
- You need a slow but noticeable presence

This setup keeps the bait in the water column longer, which is where a lot of bites actually happen.
Instead of falling straight through the zone, the FISH MAGNET OCTOPUS holds position and continues to move. The arms subtly wave even when the bait is barely being worked.
The oval core plays a key role here, stabilizing the body while keeping the profile open and visible.
Best used when:
- Fish are following but not committing
- You need longer exposure in the strike zone
- You’re fishing suspended or roaming bass
- When you need to crawl or hop your plastic along the bottom with a larger profile bait
When It Actually Makes Sense to Use It
The FISH MAGNET OCTOPUS shines when standard soft plastics stop getting responses.
Use it when:
- Fish are pressured and cautious
- Water is clear and visibility is high
- You’re getting follows but no bites
- You need something slow but still alive in the water
It’s not a search bait—it’s a conversion bait.
