Description

The Sobat 100 is a 100 mm, 17.5 g sinking lure from ima, a size-up of the original sobat 80 lipped sinking pencil. On a slow retrieve it gives a soft swing like a sinking pencil, then shifts to a minnow-like wobble-roll action as retrieve speed increases. ima's MRD weight-transfer system delivers long casts and a quick rise after landing, with its slow-speed action tuned softer than the sobat 80 for fishing water with more current.

A variable-action seabass lure working roughly 20–50 cm down, suited to harbours, tidal flats, rivers and river mouths from open-area searching to pinpoint work on light/dark edges. This listing offers 11 official ima colourways.

Information

The swimming action

The Sobat 100 is a size-up of the original Sobat 80, a 100 mm, 17.5 g sinking lure that gives a soft, pencil-like swing on a slow retrieve and shifts to a minnow-like wobble-roll as speed increases, helped by ima's MRD system for long casts and a quick rise after landing.

When to throw it

A variable-action seabass lure working roughly 20–50 cm down, it suits harbours, tidal flats, rivers and river mouths from open-area searching to pinpoint work on light and dark edges.

How to work it

Vary the retrieve speed to switch between the two actions; its slow-speed action is tuned softer than the 80 for fishing water with more current.

The setup it likes

Pair with an ML 8 ft spinning rod, a 3000 reel, 8–12 lb (PE 0.8–1.2) braid and a 16 lb fluorocarbon leader.
