The article introduces why REVONIK's Seiji Kato (加藤 誠司) uses its proprietary hard bone material, DryBone, in lures and outlines its current status. It describes the progress of sound-focused design based on the differences between ABS resin and acetate plastic.
REVONIK is a lure manufacturer founded by Seiji Kato (加藤 誠司) in 2023. It is developing and releasing new lures that draw on fishing expertise and manufacturing know-how. In particular, under a design policy focused on sound, the company is successively releasing lures that use its proprietary hard bone material, DryBone.
Transparent ABS resin is often used as the base for bone materials. At one time, however, materials known as milky-white bone materials included hard acetate plastic, and acetate plastic was said to have been valued as a factor behind the rattle sound of classic lures from the 1970s and 1980s.
DryBone is a formulation developed by REVONIK through extensive proprietary testing. Unlike the milky-white ABS resin commonly used today, it is said to have the characteristic of producing a high-frequency rattle sound. DryBone has already been incorporated into current lures, and is also expected to be used extensively in upcoming releases.
Specific products using DryBone include models such as DotSIX Ver1.5 7+ DryBone, along with their specifications. Several other items, including the Volbeat and Zenda series, are also introduced. Prices and detailed specifications are arranged in a table and presented as factors that may influence future development.
