About this piece
The Smith Imo-Grub 90 is a specialized soft plastic lure designed to excel in tough fishing conditions through its unique no-action slide-fall presentation. Originally inspired by cutting the tail off a standard grub, this dedicated model from Gary Yamamoto/Smith features a rear-weighted body for improved casting distance and a controlled, fluttering fall that tempts pressured bass.
Key features
- Rear-weighted body design optimizes slide-fall action and casting performance
- Head diameter increased to reduce casting damage and tearing
- Body taper engineered to preserve hook gap and hook-up ratio with offset hooks
- Available in a 90mm length weighing approximately 18.5g, 5 per pack
- Recommended for use with offset hooks size 5/0 to 6/0
Best for
- Finesse presentations targeting structure such as overhangs, docks, and boat slips
- High-pressure lakes where bass are wary and require a low-impact, slow approach
