About this piece
The Imakatsu Bean Bats is a micro crankbait featuring a unique rotating waddle blade system that generates an erratic sliding action. This innovative design merges the water-pushing power of a crankbait with the flash and attraction of a spoon, creating a new hybrid lure category. Originally a hit for trout, this bass version brings the same proven action to larger predators.
