The Radscale, technical pencil bait continues to boast an unshakable track record. The overwhelming praise from anglers who unlock this lure's true potential stems solely from its extraordinary effectiveness on big bass. This is achieved through the Variable Balancer System's unique 2-way variable action, enabling an ever-changing performance. It entices bites through irregular actions born from its tricky specs and high responsiveness: a skating action where it rolls while twisting its body inward, exposing its side as it cuts through the water; a sweet splash sound from a vertical posture; and the unique low-frequency bumpy sound produced by the moving weight as it slides while vibrating the body. The Rad Scale, equipped with reliable performance for catching big bass and multi functionality that enables any approach depending on technique, makes top water fishing more dependable.
FRONT FACE DETAIL
The powerful wake created by its strong water displacement at the front generates an overwhelming presence that triggers bites even during a steady retrieve. During skating or snake walks, the lower jaw section most susceptible to water resistance moves to escape water pressure, causing the body to roll inward rather than outward. This enables a unique, water clinging action impossible with conventional pencil baits.
HOOK & TAIL DETAIL
The hook features an eye angle designed for split ring attachment.
The Radscale, set to the absolute limit, delivers significantly sharper movement with this alone.

In flat areas where bass are widely scattered, “roll skating” is the most effective technique for quickly finding them. Using rod work with a lighter touch than typical pencil baits, the Radscale through the water while creating splashes and bumpy sounds, jerking the lure side to side. Rather than gliding across the surface, the powerful, snaking wake and resonant low-frequency sound strongly attract bass from far away.
During summer twilight hours when bait fish are actively being pursued, the “Rolling Snake Walk” proves highly effective. Its rod work, performed at a faster rhythm than roll skating, creates a completely new action such as a unique rolling motion combined with an inward twist of the body as it cuts through the surface water in a serpentine path, appealing to big bass.
In pinpoint spots like reeds, standing trees, or sheer rock faces, the “Splash & Upright” technique with its minimal movement significantly boosts your bite opportunities. The sweet “chap” splash mimicking surface feeding, combined with the low-frequency sound emitted by the moving weight as it vibrates and slides, irritates bass lurking tight and provokes bites.
In weed beds extending right to the surface or in ultra-shallow water, the “bouncing action” sometimes delivers astonishing results. Maintain line tension to prevent head shaking, and add fine, continuous twitches to a steady retrieve. This produces a bumpy sound along with a powerful vertical action that pushes water forcefully as it bounces up and down. Additionally, pausing occasionally allows it to shift into an upright posture with a slurping sound, creating a unique presentation reminiscent of a tired frog or a dying bait fish taking a breather.
For spooked bass wary of flashy action and sound, we recommend the “dead slow retrieve” that appeals solely through its wake. Simply retrieve slowly, as if not moving the internal weight at all. The head pushes water forward, while the tapered tail creates a sharp, defined wake. This secret method has also become a hot topic among shore anglers targeting only big bass.
