Gary Yamamoto Yamatanuki 3.5in Heavy Soft Plastic Watermelon with Black & Red Flake – 8 Pack

Overview

The Gary Yamamoto Yamatanuki arrives in a compact 3.5 inch size, weighing 5/8 oz, designed for versatile on-water presentation. Built with a heavy soft plastic formula, it stays flexible in the water yet delivers a reliable, fast-falling profile when cast. This combination supports weightless rigs while maintaining solid casting distance and a crisp return on your retrieve.

In real-world fishing, the Yamatanuki offers an adaptable tool for multiple tactics. Its balanced silhouette and tail action can be effective when flipping into cover, casting across open water, or dragging along structure. When used with forward-facing sonar, the bait helps you track its path and make smart adjustments to speed and depth. The 8 pro-picked colors give anglers options to match light, water clarity, and prey cues, while the Watermelon with Black & Red Flake variant delivers high visibility and contrast in varied conditions.
