About this piece
The Imakatsu Gill Soft 130 3D Realism is a soft plastic jointed swimbait crafted by Naoyuki Mihara, designed to combine the best traits of the Gillroid Jr. and Lazy Swimmer. Its soft material allows the bait to fold into a bass's mouth for improved hooking, while the jointed construction enables rare side-to-side dashing actions typically seen in hard baits. This all-season gill-type swimbait excels in both cold water when paused and high-season when retrieved rapidly.
