About this piece
The Ima Empathy 120 is an upsized version of the popular Empathy 90, designed to target medium to large baitfish patterns such as inakko (juvenile mullet) and konoshiro (gizzard shad).

- Effective across a wide range of retrieve speeds, from slow to fast.
- Slightly rounded body offers enhanced presence and appeal beyond its size.
- Recommended for river mouths, rivers, and rocky shores.
- Suitable season: early spring to late autumn.
Best for

- Fishing medium to large baitfish patterns in shallow to mid-depth water.
- Versatile use in both daytime and nighttime conditions across rivers, river mouths, and rocky shorelines.
