Making its way to the US after becoming a favorite in the Japanese market, the Yamamoto Yamatanuki looks like nothing you’ve ever fished before. This heavy soft plastic bait is particularly deadly when fished with a lift-and-fall technique, allowing the body and tail to shimmy independently from one another for a presentation that even the most pressured fish won’t be able to resist. The compact and dense nature of the bait makes it a phenomenal caster despite being fished weightless. The convenient hook slot makes for easy weedless rigging on an EWG worm hook. Available in an assortment of colors handpicked by some of the world’s top pro anglers, the Yamatanuki is worthy of a spot in your arsenal no matter where you fish.
