Description

The bite-sized version of its older brother, the Imakatsu Baby Gillroid Swimbait is here and packed with features that will outperform expectations. The Imakatsu Baby Gillroid Swimbait was designed to be a multi-purpose fishing tool, functioning as a magnum crankbait or a slow floating glidebait.The Imakatsu Baby Gillroid Swimbait includes a removable bill, if installed, causes the swimbait to dive 2-3 feet and deflect off of cover. If the bill is removed, the Imakatsu Baby Gillroid Glide Bait performs like a floating glidebait, gently waking underneath the surface of the water. You can also attach a small weight to the eyelet underneath the chin, which allows the Imakatsu Baby Gillroid Glide Bait to be turned into a slow sinking glide bait rather than a floater.The Imakastu Baby Gillroid includes two different types of tail attachments, the boot tail and the flat tail. The boot tail was designed to create vortex-like water displacement behind the swimbait as it is swimming. If the boot tail is equipped while the lure is used as a floating glidebait, if worked slow enough, it can give the lure characteristics of a topwater wakebait, creating v-shaped water displacement on the water’s surface. The flat tail attachment will allow for smooth, low profile gliding motion of the Imakatsu Baby Gillroid.Outfitted in a variety of Imakatsu custom colorways, sticky sharp treble hooks, realistic fins and life-like molded gill plates, the Imakatsu Baby Gillroid is a must-have addition to any JDM swimbait enthusiast’s toolbox.ImakatsuLength Weight Baby Gillroid4-3/4" 1.25oz Upgrade Your Treble Hooks!Please note: Lipless cap must be inserted when fishing without a bill to prevent the lure from filling with water.

Field Notes

This is a multi-purpose hard swimbait that can be fished as a floating glide bait, a slow sinking glide bait with added weight, or with the bill installed as a shallow-diving crank-style bait. Use it around cover, over open water, or as a wakebait on a slow retrieve when fish are feeding near the surface. The removable tail options let you tune the action from a smooth glide to a more pronounced wake and displacement.

Pros

  • Versatile bill-and-tail system for multiple retrieve styles
  • Can be fished floating, slow sinking, or shallow diving
  • Realistic profile and detailed finish

Cons

  • Premium price point
  • Requires tuning and setup to match the desired action
