The IxI FURIOUS 0.5 takes the FURIOUS series to its most extreme shallow-water application.
Designed as a super-shallow runner with a maximum diving depth of just 0.5 m, the 0.5 is built around high-speed retrieval, rapid flashing and an exceptionally responsive action.
Its purpose is straightforward: attack the ultra-shallow zone with speed, stability and an aggressive visual presence.
At 64 mm and 1/4 oz, the FURIOUS 0.5 combines a compact profile with the advanced hydrodynamic and weight-transfer systems that define the FURIOUS platform.
Built for the Extreme Shallows
The defining characteristic of the FURIOUS 0.5 is its 0.5 m maximum diving depth.
This places the 0.5 firmly in the super-shallow category, targeting water that conventional shallow-running lures can struggle to exploit effectively. Its design allows anglers to cover this uppermost layer at high speed while maintaining the lure's intended running range.
Water Flow Becomes Part of the Lure
At the heart of the FURIOUS design is a patented water-through mechanism.
Water enters through an intake in the lure's head and flows through the body, where it is pressurized and accelerated. This internal water movement contributes to both the lure's action and its stability during retrieval.
The system effectively functions as a virtual lip, using hydrodynamics to influence the lure's running range and trajectory rather than relying solely on a conventional external lip.
As retrieval speed increases, water pressure and flow increase as well. The resulting hydraulic effect helps stabilize the lure and maintain its shallow-running trajectory.
High-Speed Stability
Fast retrieves can create substantial water resistance and potentially force a lure outside its intended running range. The water-through system addresses this by allowing excess water flow to exit through two ducts positioned beneath the gills.
This downward discharge reduces pressure and helps counteract the diving forces created by increased water resistance during high-speed retrieval.
High-Pitch Over-Roll and Strobe Flash
The FURIOUS 0.5 produces a high-pitch over-roll action with extremely rapid flashing.
The tight rolling movement creates a pronounced strobe effect, giving the compact 64 mm body an unusually strong visual presence. Its action is also designed around exceptional responsiveness, allowing the lure to generate its characteristic flashing presentation during high-speed retrieves.
Micro LBO – Small Body, Long Cast
The FURIOUS 0.5 incorporates a patented Micro LBO moving-balancer system. Despite its compact 64 mm / 1/4 oz format, this system provides the lure with substantial casting capability.
The long-casting performance is particularly important for the FURIOUS concept: greater casting distance allows the angler to extend the high-speed shallow retrieve across a larger area.
The lure is therefore designed around a complete high-speed system—from cast to retrieve to depth control.
Carpet-Bombing the Shallows
The official description of the 0.5 emphasizes a broad, aggressive approach to ultra-shallow water.
Its combination of powerful water movement, rapid flashing and high-speed action is designed to cover the shallow zone extensively, rather than limiting the lure to a narrow target line.
