Ima Pin Jack 200 ~ Medium Diving Crankbait

Ima Pin Jack 200 ~ Medium Diving Crankbait

Length: 2-1/4" (55 mm)
Weight: 7/16 oz (13g)
Type: Floating/Diving, Medium Runner
Depth: 6 foot (12lb test)
Hooks: #4

The PinJack 200 builds on the success of Ima's Square Bill and Beast Hunter crankbait models.

Bassmaster Elite pro Fred Roumbanis says. “It’s like a mini Beast Hunter with a Square Bill body. It hits a spot that not a whole lot of crankbaits do. With 10- or 12-pound line you can get it down in that 6-8 foot range in a hurry.”

When fish are scattered in the pre-spawn and post-spawn phases, this lure can locate them quickly as they go to or from their spawning grounds. With its unique wobble and roll action, it has a different acoustic pattern than any other small crankbait on the market and it has proven deadly on even wary bass. In fact, Roumbanis said that oftentimes after he catches a few fish out of a school with a Beast Hunter, he’ll go back through the area with the PinJack to try to eke out a few more bites. Usually the one-two punch pays big dividends.

South Carolina pro Michael Murphy added that the new lure has certain attributes that others in its class do not. “It is very castable and comes through cover incredibly well. In fact it’s almost impossible to hang up,” claims Murphy.

The lure's diving angle is tuned so when it comes in contact with weeds, softly lift up on the rod and the Pin Jack will back slide and glide right over the vegetation.

The Pin Jack is a long distance casting crank for its size. Its design incorporates a small fixed weight inside, which maximizes diving depth while preventing the lure from tumbling and getting fouled on the cast.

Ohio pro and noted crankbait aficionado Bill Lowen added that this lure, like all Ima products, runs exceptionally true on every cast, which makes it deadly for fishing in current in natural rivers or hydroelectric-generating lakes.

Ima Beast Hunter - Deep Power Fishing Crankbait

Length: 2.65" (67mm)
Weight: 3/4 oz (23g)
Type : Deep diving, power fishing
Depth: 10-13 feet (on 14 Lb. Test)
Hooks: #2

The deep-diving Beast Hunter crankbait was developed by Japanese pro Jun Shunji. It weighs 3/4 oz and is rated for 10-13 foot depths. The Beast Hunter is a crankbait specifically designed to snake through deep grass without hanging up or losing its effectiveness in deep grass beds.

Japanese pro Jun Shoji guides on Lake Biwa in Japan, where a world record-tying largemouth was caught in 2010. Shoji set out to create a power fishing crankbait that can dominate the 10 to 13 foot range where most of Biwa’s monster bass are hooked. He’s succeeded in creating a product that will successfully hunt down those beasts.

With a natural wobble – not too wide, not too tight – a subdued knocking sound not to turn off spooky bass, the Beast Hunter is a power bait that doesn’t overpower the situation.

The lure's diving angle is tuned so when it comes in contact with weeds, softly lift up on the rod and the Beast Hunter will back slide and glide right over the vegetation.

The hooks are beefy (#2 trebles) yet shielded by the big body and lip to keep them weedless without hampering hooking ability.

ima Square Bill ~ Shallow Running Crankbait

Length: 2-1/4" / 55mm
Weight: 3/8 oz / 10g
Depth: 0-3 ft
Hooks: #6

Bassmaster Elite pro Bill Lowen was key in the design of the ima Square Bill. "The ima Square Bill is a shallow-running cover contact crank that combines everything I ever wanted in a hand-made balsawood bait with the durability and consistency of an injection-molded hard plastic crank," says Bassmaster Elite pro Bill Lowen of North Bend, Ohio. "I was raised fishing shallow water, using balsa baits hand-made by 4-5 guys in this area of Ohio where I am from, and everyone in the fishing world knows that hand-made balsa cranks act different than plastic production run baits. Many lure manufacturers have tried before, and you always hear about this or that plastic bait that's 'just like balsa', blah, blah, blah, but to me no plastic lure has ever truly been like balsa yet." "So what I wanted to do (and succeeded at) was take everything that I liked about the 4-5 different hand-made balsa baits I know and love, and incorporate all that into the ima Square Bill, a plastic crank." "I wanted a square bill crankbait that would run a little shallower than most others on the market. Most square bills run in the 4-6 foot depth range. My bait is designed so you may fluctuate its depth range from 1-3 feet by varying the line diameter and/or the rod tip position. The ima Square Bill's only going to run 3 foot deep on 12 lb test, holding the rod tip down. Using 15-17 lb test, you can get it in that two foot range. If you go up to 20 lb test, it will swim one foot deep. So we've hit all the depth ranges with this one bait. The key reason for wanting it to swim so shallow is a lot of other square bills dig into the bottom. When you are fishing really, really shallow, most other baits are digging really hard in the dirt, and you waste half your cast because you get mired down in the muck and the dead leaves laying on the bottom," explains Bill Lowen "If you study what's going on, even in 4-6 feet of water, most of the cover you are trying to contact sits a few feet higher off the bottom anyway, so by not plowing the open bottom, you are simply hustling the bait cleanly above open bottom and slowing it down to bounce and work it in the cover contacted above the bottom. What ima has ingeniously done here is to produce a shallow-running square bill that you can get up in shallow water and bang it through the cover, not digging the empty open expanses between cover where other cranks waste your cast." "Typically, square bill type fishing is summer or fall fishing, banging it fast through the cover, going for a reaction bite. When the bait deflects off a piece of cover, you can semi-pause it and start twitching it in the cover, and it will kind of walk-the-dog underwater. Twitching a crank is really hard to do with a plastic bait because most other plastic baits aren't buoyant enough. So what they'll want to do underwater is to roll really hard to the sides, and they'll typically get hung up, your line will get hung up in the hooks. Not so with the ima Square Bill. We have made it so buoyant that it very easily walks the dog under the water. It will almost remind you of fishing a jerkbait but not quite that erratic and without making the pauses you make using a jerkbait. The ima Square Bill will stay down in the cover by simply keeping a tense line and therefore water pressure against the lip while you keep twitching on it. As soon as you stop doing anything with the bait, it's going to rise right back up, which is really good because when you get stuck and snub it up on a piece of cover, typically you can let go of the bait (let slack line) and it will back itself out." "There's another deal you're able to do with this bait, and that's simply by keeping your rod tip up (with any line test), you can wake it on the surface. You can twitch it on top, and it is so buoyant, stays up so easily, that you can actually walk the dog, left to right in a zigzag action on top. There are no other balsa baits or plastic cranks that can do that, not that I know of," claims Bill Lowen.
