About this piece
The Smith Fat Ika is a classic bulky soft-plastic bait from Gary Yamamoto, built with a high-density material that gives it a substantial 12g weight on its own. Its voluminous body allows easy no-sinker operation even on baitcasting tackle, expanding the reach of no-sinker fishing into shallow cover areas previously difficult for spinning gear.
