About this piece
The Smith Gary Yamamoto Fat Ika is a high-density soft plastic lure renowned for its bulky body and heavy weight. Its 12g mass allows easy no-sinker operation even with baitcasting tackle, expanding anglers' ability to reach shallow cover that spinning gear cannot. The unique backslide fall action makes it deadly for aggressive bass presentations.
