This is the trump card for lipless glide baits !
When you first cast the ESDRIVE, you cannot help but be impressed by its extremely natural S-stroke swimming action just by reeling it in.
It is neither wobbling, rolling, nor vibrating, but an “S-stroke” type of movement and wave motion. Kikumoto says, “The bass seem to think the S-drive is a complete bait (life form).” Because most of the bass will chase or react to the ESDRIVE if it passes through the bass's range. And above all, the fact that the same bass kept coming back to bite even after two or three missed bites was something that stimulated the predator's instincts and drove them crazy. It is truly a living creature.

Steady retrieve
Basic usage. The ESDRIVE swims in an S-stroke by simply reeling in with the rod tip down. If you reel it in slowly, it will make a large, gentle S-stroke, and if you retrieve it fast, it will swim in a tight, quick S-stroke. If the bass range is deep, a slow retrieve is effective.
Retrieve & Stop
When the retrieve is stopped, the slow-sinking ESDRIVE sinks slowly. At this time, the jointed body of the lure wiggles from side to side, which makes it possible to trigger a bite at once. Also, when fishing on land, it is effective to sink the lure in front of the lure when it chases and leave the lure on the bottom, and then twitch the lure.
Twitch and Flash
Twitching ESDRIVE during the normal retrieve and pause will cause the flat side of the bait to flash and dart from side to side, turning on the fish-eaters. This is also an effective technique when you want to shorten the distance between the fish and the chasing fish and get them to bite.
