About this piece
The IMA Empathy 120 is a large sinking minnow designed for medium to large baitfish patterns. Building on the success of the Empathy 90, this 120mm version offers a composite irregular action that automatically shifts between roll, S-curve, wobble, and zigzag motions with changes in water flow, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of retrieve speeds.
