About this piece
The Gary Yamamoto Fat Ika is a soft plastic creature bait renowned for its bulky profile and high-density construction that gives it a heavy 12-gram weight. It is most effective when rigged weightless and reversed, producing a unique backslide fall that slides horizontally under cover. This action excels at reaching bass tucked deep into undercuts, docks, and other hard-to-access ambush points.
