About this piece
The Imakatsu iRoller 70 is a new-concept minnow that produces a perfect high-pitch I-roll and flashing without the side-to-side wobble typical of lipped plugs. By simply dead-slow to medium retrieving, it triggers bass bites with natural roll, flashing, and the waving hair tail. It also features a unique shimmy fall action, allowing vertical falling while rolling, ideal for mimicking hovering shrimp. At medium retrieve, a special metal blade on the tail contacts the body side to produce a "cracker sound," effective in stained water for drawing fish.
