The Imakatsu GilSoft 130 is a jointed bluegill-profile swimbait from the WAZAMONO series, designed by Naoyuki Mihara. Its soft plastic construction allows it to compress during the bite, dramatically improving hookup ratio compared to hard baits. The jointed design delivers rare side-to-side darting action, making it effective in both cold and warm water.
