About this piece
The Imakatsu IS Wasp 55 is a premium suspending shad bait designed to fly like a bullet and sting like a bee. Its compact, aerodynamically balanced body achieves outstanding casting distance and straight-line flight without noisy weight-transfer sounds, making it one of the most castable lures in its class. The IS Wasp delivers sharp darting action while also generating a tight, high-vibration roll on a straight retrieve, appealing even to anglers who find suspending shads difficult to fish effectively.
