bullflat
A soft bluegill-imitation that can be fished in several different ways. The bluegill lives everywhere from small ponds to rivers or large reservoirs and bass feed on them anywhere they coexist. The “Bull Flat” was made to have the same and profile of a bluegill and casts great. It has a bellow-shaped tail that vibrates and moves with any movement of the water. The arms also cause vibration and look just like the fins of a bluegill.

ima Skimmer
The ima Skimmer is unique among hard plastic topwater stick baits because of the slender body shape of a soft plastic stick bait. This slim profile has proven to be one of the most appealing bass lure shapes ever. There’s a lot to be said simply for this slender profile and silhouette, and the ima Skimmer is really the only topwater hard bait with it.

Little Stik
The Little Stik 135 measures 5.5 inches long and weighs 1 oz. Like its bigger brother, The Big Stik, the Litte Stik is a high-tech lunker-killer that walks, pops, spits and catches just about anything that swims.
It’s rear weighted, making it easier to cast and enabling it to sit in a position that as soon as you start your retrieve, it starts to walk and throw water up to 2 feet in front of the lure. It’s deadly for fresh and saltwater species.

Square Bill
The ima Square Bill can go shallow and crash cover as hard as you can fish it, just like other square bill crankbaits. But, the beauty of the bait is that it’s three or four baits in one.
While some other square bills are good burned, others are at their best when they’re waked or twitched. Some do well deflecting off cover, while others are best in openwater. The ima Square Bill can match each attribute and talent with no weakness. It’s a versatile crankbait that you can fish in several ways and in many situations.
