About this piece
The Ima Yoichi 99 is a 99mm, 28g sinking pencil built for long-distance casting accuracy, named after the legendary archer Nasu no Yoichi. Its unique cup-shaped lip provides moderate resistance and transmits lure position and movement feedback to the angler, while the horizontal fall posture makes it effective for drift fishing and stop-and-go retrieves.
