About this piece
The Ima Arms Design Yoichi 70 Diet is a compact sinking minnow that brings the series' core strengths—castability, shallow-running range-keeping, and steady action at slow retrieves—into a 70mm form. It excels in early-to-mid-spring haku (juvenile ayu), shirasu, and amipattern situations where a smaller, easily controlled bait is needed.
Key features
- Sinking type with a diving range of 10–40 cm.
- Slalom action stays reliable even on slow retrieves.
- Equipped with #10 hooks and #2 split rings.
- Designed for long casts and stable swimming across a wide speed range.
- Ideal for targeting surface-layer seabass feeding on micro bait.
Best for
- Seabass (sea bass) fishing in shallow, micro-bait-heavy waters.
- Spring haku and amipattern scenarios requiring a compact, low-profile bait.
- Surface-layer presentations where a sinking lure holds depth consistently.
