Description

The ima Issen 45S MAX is a 45 mm, 4 g sinking minnow built as a big-fish-ready version of the standard Issen 45S, for trout fishing in mountain stream (keiryu) waters. In place of the standard front/rear rolling swivel, it uses a figure-eight ring with front and rear treble hooks for a full big-fish specification.

It is intended for situations where Issen's strong natural performance draws in bigger trout than the angler expected, and the standard rolling-swivel setup starts to feel under-gunned for the fish on the line.

Information

The swimming action

The Issen 45 is a small sinking minnow tuned to telegraph resistance from the current through the rod tip, giving a steady rolling swim that anglers can feel and read on tight technical water.

When to throw it

Built for mountain-stream (keiryu) trout fishing on an up-and-across presentation, working pocket water, tail-outs and current seams on small streams and rivers.

How to work it

Cast up and across the current and let it swing round on a semi-tight line, adding small rips to trigger a take; the swivel-mounted or treble-rigged hooks help pin fish on light gear.

The setup it likes

A light 5–6ft native-trout spinning rod, a 1000–1500 reel, 2–4lb line and a short 2–4lb fluorocarbon leader suit this size.
