Deps Silent Killer 175 Rise Up Hot Tiger | Old Foam-Core Model

Original Foam-Core Construction from the Early Silent Killer Series

The deps Silent Killer 175 Rise Up represents one of the early generations of the iconic Silent Killer series. Unlike the later ABS-core models, this version features the original foam-core construction that helped establish the lure’s reputation among dedicated JDM swimbait anglers.

Now discontinued, the original foam-core models have become increasingly difficult to find in new condition. Many collectors appreciate these early-production versions for their historical significance and their place in the evolution of the Silent Killer lineup.

Rise Up Model – Designed for a Distinctive Pause Presentation

The Rise Up version uses a specialized internal balance that causes the lure to adopt a head-up posture during pauses. This unique attitude creates a natural feeding appearance and adds another presentation option when fishing shallow cover, points, and structure.

Combined with the Silent Killer’s signature soft shell and jointed body, the Rise Up model delivers a smooth, realistic swimming action with subtle body roll during slow retrieves.

Discontinued JDM Collectible

As the original foam-core Silent Killer models are no longer in production, clean examples have become increasingly desirable among collectors and serious JDM tackle enthusiasts. This authentic Japanese-market version is an excellent choice for anglers looking to fish a classic design or add a genuine early Silent Killer to their collection.
