Gary Yamamoto Yamatanuki Stickbait

The Yamatanuki, a popular Japanese Yamamoto bait now available in the US, revolutionized the "heavy" soft plastic lure trend. The Yamatanuki features a custom formula for weightless fishing, offering excellent casting distance and fast fall. Perfect for flipping, casting, and dragging, it's also effective with forward-facing sonar. Available in 8 pro-chosen colors, it’s a versatile addition to any angler's toolkit.

Offered in 3 sizes: 4.25" (6 pack), 3.5" (8 pack), and 2.5" (10 pack)

Poured using Yamamoto’s custom heavily weighted soft plastic formula, the Yamamoto Yamatanuki Stick Bait is super dense which allows it to be fished weightless with great castability and a fast horizontal rate of fall. Ideal for pairing with an extra wide gap hook, the Yamatanuki is an incredible power finesse option for flipping into cover or dragging open water, as well as casting to fish on forward-facing sonar. While this is the first time the Yamatanuki has been made available in the US, it has been a very popular soft bait in the Japanese Yamamoto lineup for years and is credited as the bait that started the genre of ‘heavy’ weighted soft plastic lures state-side.

Available in hand-picked colors from Yamamoto’s pro-staff to provide a wide array of fish-catching options no matter what the conditions, each bait is molded with a hook pocket to provide easy rigging and greatly improve your hook-up ratios. Staying true to their roots of creating innovative baits that absolutely catch fish, the Yamamoto Yamatanuki Stick Bait is another incredible tool to add to your fish-catching arsenal from the world’s premier soft plastic brand.
