The secret to its surprising long distance casts is the arrow-like shape, and the “raceway” engineered inside the komomo's body. Two dense tungsten ball weights roll down the raceway into the very tail tip of the komomo upon casting. Unlike other lures that have fixed weight systems, the Komomo can be much lighter yet still cast much farther because all the dense tungsten weight is in the tail on the cast.

When it first splashes down, the weighted tail causes the komomo to sit straight up and down in the water. As the retrieve is started, the pull of the fishing line causes the tungsten weights to roll back into the belly where there is a baffle that holds the weights precisely at the center of balance for the duration of the retrieve. With the weights automatically repositioned and secured by the baffle mechanism, the komomo now sits perfectly horizontal in the water. Under normal conditions, the komomo maintains a consistent swimming depth about one foot or so below the surface. Ideal action can be gotten on a slow retrieve and slow-moving water. As you slowly retrieve it, the komomo innately wants to stop and pause a lot if you let it, which is very natural and how a slender baitfish would act. The lifelike slow-rolling movement is a perfect visual attractant at such special moments as daybreaks and sunsets when ocean gamefish cruise the sea surface looking for an easy meal.

The komomo can also be retrieved fast by the angler, or it can be cast into fast-moving water, and the komomo will still work as intended even in a fast current or on a fast retrieve. You will again notice the remarkable similarity of the action to long slender baitfish that must swim much harder, almost gyrating from side to side in a wide S-shaped arc in fast water. The komomo will closely mimic its natural baitfish counterparts as the komomo also arcs widely from side to side when moved quickly.
