Omori, Lucky Craft BDS-2 Crankbait Dominate Bass Central Open
New Lure Proved to Be the Difference
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. (Oct. 17, 2005) – Lucky Craft Pro Takahiro Omori used Lucky Craft’s latest square-billed, shallow-running crankbait to dominate the CITGO Bassmaster Central Open on Norfork Lake this past weekend. He grabbed the lead on day two and never looked back to pocket almost $50,000 in total winnings.

The new BDS-2 was recently introduced to the public as a smaller version to Lucky Craft’s highly successful BDS-3 and BDS-4 crankbait series. The BDS-2 helped Omori catch the key fish needed to secure a 27 pound, 5 ounce overall total.
Omori’s 3 pound, 8-ounce big bass and 7 pound, 10 ounce stringer on the final day of competition allowed the Texas resident to capture his second victory of the year.

| The BDS 2 was launched in August of 2005 and is currently available in stores. It is available in 45 different colors. |
“I caught a lot of fish, but all of my key fish were caught on the Lucky Craft BDS-2,” said Omori, who opened the 2005 season by winning the CITGO Bassmaster Tour event on Florida’s Lake Toho, site of the 2006 Classic. “I fished the BDS-2 in Original Tennessee Shad and its’ smaller profile really made it versatile for me throughout the entire tournament.”
Omori used 20-pound fluorocarbon test line and found most of his success within the brush of Norfork Lake where his BDS-2 produced bigger bites.
“I was focusing on largemouth bass, which were in their fall patterns,” said Omori, who mainly used a steady medium retrieve. “I was fishing many of the lake’s back pockets because the fish were in shallow water. I usually like to fish about three feet deep in the fall, but these fish were at about five feet. That’s why I like the BDS-2. Unlike wood baits, the BDS-2 was able to go a little deeper and grab those key fish. I loved how deep the BDS-2 worked in that situation because I used some other crankbaits, but they just didn’t catch as many fish.”
