Description

The Ima Empathy 90 is a 90mm sinking minnow weighing 17g, built around a distinctive cup face that catches water flow to shift between rolling, S-slaloming, wobbling and staggered actions on a straight retrieve. It runs at 20 to 60cm and is designed for seabass.

Because its action varies with retrieve speed rather than staying fixed, it suits both day and night fishing and can be worked through a range of retrieves to draw strikes from fish that have seen more predictable actions before.

Information

The swimming action

The Empathy 90 uses a distinctive cup face to catch water flow, shifting between rolling, S-slaloming, wobbling and staggered actions on a straight retrieve depending on speed.

When to throw it

Running the 20 to 60cm zone, it suits both day and night seabass fishing, useful when fish have seen more predictable actions and need a varied presentation to trigger a strike.

How to work it

Work it through a range of retrieve speeds rather than one fixed pace, since the action itself changes with speed, giving several presentations from one lure.

The setup it likes

A 7 to 8 foot ML seabass spinning rod suits the Empathy 90's 17g weight, matched with a 2500 to 3000 size reel, 8 to 12lb braid and a 14 to 18lb fluorocarbon leader.
