Imakatsu Gillpop Swimbait

Imported directly from Japan, the Imakatsu Gillpop provides one of the most realistic and lifelike bluegill imitations ever produced. During the peak low oxygen season, bluegills often come up from the weedbeds to oxygenate themselves on the surface, and the Gillpop’s unique popping action flawlessly emulates this natural occurrence. This also creates an ideal opportunity for a monster bass to grab an easy, unsuspecting, meal. The Gillpop features a broken tail design that produces a very subtle swimming motion as it rests on the surface, enticing the most wary bass. It’s also equipped with 3D eyes, 3D gill plate accents, a seamless fin design. Incredibly realistic 3D paint job also give the Imakatsu Gillpop an impeccable bluegill profile. Imakatsu recommends three different retrieves for the Gillpop. Step 1: Simply cast it out and let it pause for 5 seconds on the surface. Because of its realistic 3D finish, the only thing a bass sees is a weakened bluegill resting due to lack of oxygen. Step 2: Pop it without trying to splash too much. One pop produces just the right amount of splash to imitate exactly how a natural bluegill would act oxygenating itself on the surface. The Gillpop also features an internal rattle that generates a high pitch sound, similar to real a bluegill taking oxygen. Step 3: Give it three jerks then finish with a hard jerk to make it dive. This imitates what a bluegill does after it has oxygenated. Let the Gillpop float and repeat from Step 1. Imakatsu Length Weight Class Gillpop 4.75" 1.6-oz Topwater Upgrade Your Treble Hooks!
