Yamamoto Baits Fat Ika Soft Bait, 10, 4in, Watermelon/Black/Red

If you've fished a while then you've fished a tube either cracking it if you're a Zona fan, dragging it, finessing it if KVD fan, or flipping it still if Alton Jr fan. One prob usually-exposed hook. Sure you can get spec ewg hooks for them & fish around grass lines lite cover. Enter the fat ika, with solid body, peg it, & put it anywhere, gnarly cover, laydowns, rip-rap, etc. I consider it my tube/confidence bait when I want something they haven't seen in a while esp spawn/post spawn when wanting a bulkier bait. Tentacles have good action, can rig multiple ways, usually TX, rig, swing head, rugby head all weedless. It's Yamamoto so you don't have to question the quality & consistency. One drawback is you don't get but 3-4 fish out of 1 bait at times only one fish. I'm ok with that bc a couple of empty plastics bags at end of day equals a good time
