Yoichi 80
The Yoichi 80 is a sinking stick. It measures 8 centimetres long and weighs 18 grams, giving it a high density that makes it look like a jig. This weight makes it easy to cast far and wide, even in windy conditions.
The particularity of this lure lies in its unique swimming action. The head, with its inwardly rounded shape, offers resistance in the water. As a result, when retrieved, the start of the lure remains fixed on the retrieve axis, and its movement is reduced to a left-to-right swivel.
This swivel, very slight at the head, amplifies towards the rear of the lure, so that the tail moves with great amplitude from left to right.
It's not easy to describe in words, but compared to the majority of bib-less lures whose movement consists of a ripple or S-swim, the Yoichi 80 is unique and offers something different and very visual underwater.
As always with Ima, there are no nasty surprises here. The lure's hooks, paintwork and frame are very solid. It can be taken abroad for light exotic fishing without fear.
The lure is available in 14 different colors, mostly natural.
A final detail often found at Ima: the Yoichi 80 has no internal beads.
Use
The Yoichi is a surface lure that can be used both in freshwater, for perch and asp, and in the sea, for sea bass, for which it was designed.
On trips, it can resist barracudas, snook and any fish weighing up to ten kilograms.
A slow to medium recovery speed is best for him. For a very fast recovery speed, I recommend you choose the Honey Trap 70S, also a lure from Ima, which accepts fast retrieves better.
