claws. It’s also made from their Mega-Floater formula, which makes it buoyant and perfect for imitating a small crawfish in a defensive position. The new bait comes 10 per pack in eight of Yamamoto’s best colors.
SHAD SHAPE SWIMMER
One thing that Yamamoto was missing in their lineup was a small swimbait, and they filled the gap with the new Shad Shape Swimmer. Based on the popular Shad Shape Worm body, this new swimbait has everything you need for fishing on a small jighead or an Alabama Rig.
The bait has a subtle kick and roll, and several plastic formulas were tested to get it just right. The new finesse swimbait comes in three sizes: 3.2, 3.7, and 4.2 inches, and 17 colors.
MORE SCOPE SHAD SIZES
“Scope” is the word of the year in bass fishing and the Yamamoto Scope Shad has been one of the hottest baits for forward-facing sonar since it was released. Now, there are a few new sizes of this minnow that also makes for a great drop shot bait.
The two new sizes are 3.5 and 4 inches, giving you more options if the forage is bigger or you’re trying
to show the fish something different. They will be available in 12 original colors and the five new colors in the Stealth Series. The 3.5-inch baits come with six per pack, and the 4-inch versions will have six in each package.
4” FAT SENKO
This new bait filled a need for the 4-inch Senko. They made it fatter, with a 20 percent larger diameter than the standard 4-inch bait. The Fat Senko was already offered in larger sizes and has been a favorite for anglers flipping and pitching when looking for a bigger bite, and now there is another option.
Even though it’s fatter,
it still has the nice Senko
shimmy as it falls. Since it has more plastic, it will also outcast a regular Senko. The new 4-inch Fat Senko will come in 16 colors and 10 per pack. This is the latest of many awesome baits with the Senko name.
Yamamoto continues to develop new soft plastics that build on its great tradition of producing baits that catch plenty of bass. These new items are twists on the favorites, with new sizes, shapes, and colors that should all be a hit for serious bass anglers. •
