About this piece
The Ima Yoichi 99 is a heavy-weight sinking pencil designed for exceptional casting distance in challenging surf and rocky shore environments. Its cup-shaped face provides distinct pull resistance and transmits accurate underwater feedback to the angler, while the body's tendency to rise easily in current makes it effective in shallow areas as well.
