Aijel is a proudly Korean-developed technique that gained massive popularity even in Japan—the birthplace of bass fishing—at the time of its introduction, and it continues to be established worldwide as a tournament-level technique.
The name Aijel is a compound of AROS + Kaijel.
It is a new bait that enhances the original Kaijel—one of the bass fishing techniques developed in Korea—by allowing it to be used in a wider variety of ways.
By adding a cross-shaped horizontal disk to the center of the Aijel body, the bait gains increased weight concentration, enabling approaches that overcome traditional Kaijel weaknesses such as limited cover penetration and stretch-style presentations.
It can also be combined with various rigs to create diverse actions.
It is a new bait that allows horizontal action to be applied to weedless rigs such as free rigs, Texas rigs, and jig rigs in a wide range of situations.
For example, when using a free rig, conventional worms tend to produce only vertical movement, but Aijel creates a horizontal action while pulling along the bottom, generating a different and more effective reaction from fish.
