Imakatsu GilSoft 130 #S-559 3DR Male Gill

The Imakatsu GilSoft 130 is a soft-plastic jointed bluegill swimbait from the WAZAMONO series, designed by Naoyuki Mihara. Its soft body collapses during a strike to deliver dramatically better hook-up ratios than hard bluegill lures. With a jointed build, it executes rare side-to-side darting and a walking action, making it effective from cold water to summer.

Key features

• Soft plastic body folds for easier hook penetration and higher landing rate
• Jointed design enables side-to-side darting and lifelike walking action
• Realistic 3D fins, including separately attached pectoral fins that flutter in current
• Default #2 treble hook, slow floating; add nail sinker for suspend/slow-sink
• Side hook hanger allows switching to a side-hook weedless setup
• Detailed bluegill pattern in #S-559 3DR Male Gill

Best for

• Pressured bass in cold water using a pause-and-twitch retrieve
• High-activity seasons when bass respond to aggressive darting action
• Clear water where a realistic bluegill profile triggers big bites
• Versatile rigging options—floating, suspending, or weedless—to match conditions
