Designed by renowned Japanese angler Takuma Akamatsu, the Gamakatsu Laughin' 300 is a giant bait built for one purpose: forcing reactions from trophy predators holding on tight structure. Measuring over 13 inches in total length and weighing in at 390g, the Laughin' 300 combines massive visual presence with hard water displacement to draw fish from extreme depths and cover.
 
Unlike conventional giant baits that blow past target zones too quickly, the Laughin' 300 features a calculated short lip and high-articulation joint structure. This combination produces a aggressive, wide-action sway while minimizing forward travel distance—allowing you to work the bait relentlessly right in front of a predator's nose without pulling it out of the strike zone.
 
Variable Tail System (Dual Silicone Tails Included)
The Laughin' 300 includes two interchangeable silicone tails that dramatically alter the bait’s swim mechanics and footprint:
 
Slide Tail (Hard Silicone): Formulated from rigid silicone that cuts through water without buckling. Delivers a wide, deliberate S-shaped glide on steady retrieves and sharp, erratic left-right side-darting when twitched.
 
Quick Tail (Soft Silicone): Made from pliable silicone that grabs water immediately upon movement. Produces a tight rolling S-curve with a high-frequency tail-kick, perfect for cadence-driven, pin-point retrieves near docks, laydowns, and steep bluffs.
