Ima Going to Catch Fish
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Written by Brad Wiegmann - I seem to glide through the water with each twitch. Flashing, darting, pausing then fliting back and forth; I do it all. I resemble a shad, a quick meal for any fish. Ima Jerkbait with an attitude. If lures could talk, I know that is what the Ima Flit 120 would be saying. The Ima Flit 120 was the combined effort of Ima Lures (www.imalures.com) and Michael Murphy to create the perfect jerkbait. Ima Lures are well known in the fishing world as manufactures of premier Japanese lures and excellent bait designers. FLW National Guard Pro fishing team member Michael Murphy from Gilbert, South Carolina, is a Fisheries Biologist, lure designer, and professional angler knows how to design a lure that catches fish. Together, they ended up designing the Ima Flit 120. The Flit 120 is named for its erratic fleeing action and 120-millimeter length body. Its body shape resembles a flat sided Herring or shad shape prey that is common in reservoirs all across the United States. Read the full article...

You can consider the ima Shad to be pudgy but not fat. The top and bottom is rounded but it does have somewhat flattened sides. So it isnt completely round. The biggest difference is the Shads going to be more of (but not entirely) a rounded body crankbait whereas the Shaker is a flat-sided crankbait. The Shads not going to run any deeper. Both are shallow-runners, although the Shads a slightly smaller bait than the Shaker. Read the full article...
