Soft plastic Flagman Hitomi 1.1"
AI analysis
High confidence
7/10
A reliable perch lure in autumn conditions with moderate effectiveness, but no clear advantages over competitors in the same segment.
Flagman Hitomi 1.1" demonstrates consistent moderate effectiveness with 23 solo reports (average rating 3.6/5) and 11 combo reports (3.7/5). Three new reports expanded understanding: two solo successes in October (rain, 15–18°C, and clear, 7–17°C, rated 3/5 and 5/5 respectively) and one ambitious combo report in September (rain, 24°C) competing against ZipBaits and Mepps. October results suggest potential in cooler conditions, but the sample size for this period remains small. Combo reports often obscure the attribution of success to this specific lure.
Best conditions
June–July and August, overcast or rainy, temperatures 14–25°C, light to moderate wind (7–11 km/h). Autumn conditions (15–24°C, rain) also showed results, but data is limited. Effectiveness drops significantly on very hot days (31–33°C).
Best target fish
Perch primarily; also roach, rudd, topmouth gudgeon, and sporadically pike and zander.
- In September–October, rainy conditions (15–24°C, wind 12–18 km/h) deliver consistent perch results.
- Hitomi 1.1" performs best in June–July with rain or overcast skies; summer data is considerably stronger than autumn.
- In combo fishing with hardbaits and spinners, the lure competes for credit, making it difficult to assess its unique contribution.
Solo sample is adequate for confidence (23 reports), but data concentrates mainly on June–July; October and spring have minimal reports. Combo reports (11) regularly include alternative soft plastics and hardbaits (Keitech, UpStream, ZipBaits, Mepps), making it hard to isolate Hitomi's unique strengths. No convincing evidence of superiority over competitors under identical conditions.
