description

A bait built to win, embodying the expertise of pro bass angler Kenta Kimura as he battles through the U.S. Elite Series. Comfortable to fish across a wide range of conditions, its ergonomics fit seamlessly into diverse scenarios at the highest level.

At first glance, Kimura’s YAGOT looks like a dragonfly nymph — but when its hidden performance is unleashed, it becomes a one-of-a-kind creature that triggers an explosion of unexpected bites. The body, sculpted through Yuki Ito’s fluid design philosophy, carries the volume for excellent castability and swimming posture while generating delicate, precise leg vibration that pulses with lifelike energy. Refined through a relentless pursuit of function, its silhouette reads bulky from one angle and slim from another. The performance it delivers is nothing short of an encounter with the unknown — a strangely compelling bait that provokes the high-score bites you need to win.

 

Hook Recommendation: Ryugi Infini 4/0

Rigging Recommendations: No Sinker, Free Rig, Carolina Rig
