About this piece
The Imakatsu GilSoft 130 is a soft-plastic jointed swimbait shaped like a bluegill, designed by WAZAMONO's Naoyuki Mihara. It combines a lifelike profile with a unique side-to-side darting action, thanks to its jointed construction. The soft body compresses on the bite for dramatically improved hookup ratios, making it a year-round performer.
