About this piece
The Ecogear Katakuchi Minnow is a 4-inch soft plastic swimbait engineered for advanced rockfish games where standard shad-tails and grubs fall short. Its subtle, micro-vibration action on a straight retrieve mimics a natural, straight-swimming baitfish, while the edged belly can be rigged up to produce an erratic darting action when jerked, triggering reaction strikes from inactive predators. The low air-resistance body shape ensures excellent long-distance casting performance even in headwinds, and it is compatible with both jig heads and Texas rigs.
