Description

The Katakuchi Worm 4.5in is issei's Umitaro saltwater soft plastic modelled on the anchovy (katakuchi iwashi), a key forage baitfish for saltwater predators. Deep, evenly spaced slits are cut into the body to create a multi-groove design that catches the water flow as it swims, giving the bait a swimming motion close to the real thing. Fitting the included flash eye adds further attraction.

Use with a swimming jighead or spin-style jighead for a swimming retrieve. Available in official colourways including #024 Murakami Secret, #028 Aka-kin (Red-Gold) and #042 Katakuchi Glow (Anchovy Glow).
