Description

Smith GARY YAMAMOTO IMO GRUB is Smith's Gary Yamamoto-branded imo grub, a purpose-designed tail-cut-style soft bait built for slide-fall presentations on an offset hook and no-sinker rigging.

The body is rear-weighted for casting distance and slide-fall action, with a taper kept wide enough near the hook point to protect offset-hook gape and hookset, and a thickened head to reduce tearing under repeated no-sinker casts. The maker recommends it for working tight structure — overhangs, docks, moored boats — on a taut-but-slack-free fall, and for finesse fishing pressured lakes where its low-impact profile draws bites other baits miss. The official range spans five body lengths (30mm/40mm/50mm/60mm/90mm); the supplier data for this listing does not specify which length it is. Sold in Japan as イモグラブ.

Information

The swimming action

Rigged weightless or on a light offset hook, the Imo Grub falls with a subtle slide rather than dropping straight down, thanks to a rear-weighted body and a taper kept wide near the hook point to protect gap and hookset.

When to throw it

Suited to tight cover — dock pilings, moored boats, overhanging brush — and to pressured lakes where bass have seen standard plastics and a low-impact profile draws more bites.

How to work it

Fish it on a taut-but-slack-free fall so the bait can slide as it drops, watching the line for a tick rather than working an active retrieve; let it sit before the next twitch.

The setup it likes

A medium-power spinning or baitcast rod, 2500 spinning reel or low-profile baitcaster, 8–12 lb fluorocarbon main line, fished direct with no wire leader needed for bass.

Before you buy

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We give you the cheapest available price, as we get it directly from the distributors. You pay what an angler in Japan pays, plus postage.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and handed to Japan Post within 3 to 5 business days. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

10 to 20 business days on Standard (tracked) or Economy, or 3 to 7 business days on Express EMS with tracking and insurance. Every option is priced at checkout before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

VAT is collected at checkout, so there is nothing to pay on delivery for standard orders.

Is it genuine Japanese stock?

Yes. Every item is the Japanese domestic release with the original JAN barcode, sourced from an authorised Japanese distributor, never grey imports or marketplace resellers.
