Poured using Yamamoto’s custom heavily weighted soft plastic formula, the Yamamoto Yamatanuki Stick Bait is super dense which allows it to be fished weightless with great castability and a fast horizontal rate of fall. Ideal for pairing with an extra wide gap hook, the Yamatanuki is an incredible power finesse option for flipping into cover or dragging open water, as well as casting to fish on forward-facing sonar. While this is the first time the Yamatanuki has been made available in the US, it has been a very popular soft bait in the Japanese Yamamoto lineup for years and is credited as the bait that started the genre of ‘heavy’ weighted soft plastic lures state-side.
