Description

MICRO 鱒 MAX (マイクロマスマックス) is Imakatsu's 40mm, 2.0g floating shad built for bottom-focused area-trout fishing.

A hanger at the tip of the lip accepts an approximately 0.9g sinker, letting the hook ride elevated during bottom stays or soft jerks. IK's Counter Balance System (C.B.S.) paired with a single hook gives a sharp darting action for its class, and the streamlined body casts well despite carrying no weight-transfer system.

A straight retrieve produces a wobble; adding the sinker converts this into a roll action. The maker suggests working from a slow bottom retrieve, to light bottom taps, and on to stronger twitches to trigger strikes.

Information

The swimming action

MICRO Masu MAX is a bottom-focused area-trout shad that wobbles on a straight retrieve; adding the supplied hanger sinker converts the action into a roll and lets the hook ride elevated during bottom stays.

When to throw it

Built for area-trout ponds, working the bottom zone where trout hold tight over structure or bare bottom.

How to work it

Start with a slow bottom retrieve, move to light bottom taps, then add stronger twitches to trigger strikes from cautious fish.

The setup it likes

Suits a light area-trout rod, small spinning reel, 2-3lb fluorocarbon or light nylon line.
