Since 2010, Harness have been producing the hand made lures, for trout and other categories. The Japanese company name is pronounced as har-ness, but the written alphabet name is “HaMess” because the spelling of harness looks like hamess. It is a witty side of the company.

With this fun loving spirit, their product serves fishermans.

One of them is Chobu.

Made of balsa woods, it effectively flips with very light twitching. It is so responsive that it can have many flashing moves in the very short casting distance. This feature is very important in Japanese stream trout fishing, since the rivers they fish are very narrow in many cases. The unique shape with the beautiful finish performs perfectly to catch the beauty in the mountain stream.

In the area trout fishing, Hamess do not miss the steps with their product. Cocho is a unique lure with bare FRP circuit board and tungsten ball.

It, with 28mm length of 2g or 2.5g, works like a metal vibration in the pond. It can effectively approach trout in the bottom and middle depth. You can say it is an optimized way to approach your target.

Pursuit for fun extends their way to have more new products, having both the beauty of the hand made lures and the effectiveness to catch fish.
