Imakatsu GilSoft 130 130 #S-558 3DR Female Gill

The Imakatsu GilSoft 130 is the first release in the WAZAMONO series, a bluegill-profile jointed swimbait designed by Naoyuki Mihara. It combines a lifelike soft plastic body with a jointed construction for unique darting and walking actions. Engineered for dramatically improved hookup ratios, it collapses in a bass's mouth while maintaining realistic fin details.

Key features

• Jointed design enables rare side-to-side darting and walking action typical of hard lures.
• Soft plastic body compresses upon bite, significantly boosting hookup rates over hard bluegill imitations.
• Default #2 treble hooks with floating configuration; add nail weights for suspend or slow sinking.
• Side hook hanger allows switching to a side-hook rig for custom presentation.
• Realistic pectoral fins flutter independently with water flow; anal fin conceals hook tines.
• 130mm length and 1.8oz weight provide a substantial profile for targeting big bass.

Best for

• Cold water periods when a pause-and-float technique entices sluggish bass.
• High-activity seasons using quick twitches to trigger reaction strikes.
• Imitating injured bluegill around shallow cover, docks, and weed edges.
• Anglers seeking improved hookup ratios with large-bodied bluegill swimbaits.
