^^Agree. One of my friends bought one and it doesn't swim nor glides well. It rolls on a medium retrieve and pulls straight in when retrieved slow. I thought the feathers might be causing the lack in action and advised him to cut it, it didn't help either. Save the money and get a S-Waver.

I have one, I really wanted to like it, but it just flat out sucks! Very disappointed because LC has a lot of baits I really like, and when I saw the Ayu, I trusted the same quality and action of their smaller baits I've come to count on. My advice, don't buy it,, save and get the Gancraft

First time posting here, I was looking to see what others thought of this bait after I tried it yesterday.  I guess I'm not alone in my dislike for it.  I too throw tons of LC, but this bait is a dud, at least the one I threw.  I was throwing it on 17 lb. flouro, bait did not glide well at all and rolled when I tried a straight retrieve at a medium retrieve.  I did like how it barely floated on the pause (flouro to braid), but that's not going to make me throw it.  After tossing it around for 15 minutes, I cut it off and tied on the S Waver 200 and the contrast was amazing.  I had to make a quick call to TW to cancel the order I made Friday night for a couple more of the Real Ayu.  Bummer.  But at least I got 20% off a couple more S Wavers instead.  Damn, looked really good for 20$!

Lots of comments here but I figured I'd kick a dead horse and add my 2 cents. It is not worth the price put on it, and as many have said it is pretty much just sloppily made and engineered. I can think of 3 baits off-hand that you are better off buying at that price point. A

savage gear 3D Glide, in gizzard if you have gizzard shad or chartreuse shad if you have no roach/shad in your area. Maybe a Jackall Gantarel(40$) if bluegill are abundant where you fish, or a R2S S-waver. I am a big fan of Savage Gears 3D Gizzard shad glide, swims really well at a slow or fast retrieve and does well on a steady reel-and-stop cadence.

 

Like I said just my 2 cents and it is not set in stone what anyone says!
