About this piece
Designed by Masahiko Kono, the Imakatsu Viral 70SS is a slow-sinking double-prop bait that entirely replicates a swimming shrimp. Its unique combination of profile, action, and sound triggers aggressive strikes from bass feeding on shrimp. A simple straight retrieve at slow speed is all it takes to bring this bait to life.
Key features
- Soft silicone whiskers keep the bait horizontal and enhance the shrimp-like silhouette.
- Custom clover-shaped propeller produces a distinctive metallic "crunching" sound.
- Feather hooks mimic shrimp swimmerets and contribute to stable swimming.
- Slow-sinking action stays just under the surface for effective shallow presentation.
- Compact 70mm body and dual propellers create a tight, noisy disturbance.
Best for
- Bass targeting shrimp in rocky areas, wood, or vegetation edges.
- Slow, straight retrieves around riprap, docks, and other structural cover.
- Shallow water when shrimp are active and bass are cruising structure.
