The Ima Flit 120 is the effort of endless research and development. Ima combined Michael Murphy’s biology expertise with its own advanced technology and the Flit 120 was born.  The Flit 120, named for its erratic fleeing action and 120mm in length, was designed on the basic premise of “matching the hatch.”   The ima Jerkbait, designed with a wide back, flat sides, and a narrow stomach, is designed to closely mimic the flat-sided Herring and/or Panfish prey, common in the U.S.   The Flit 120 incorporates a realistic finish, a uniquely designed bill for ease of use and specially designed triangular chambers. This creates constant focal points of contact, maximizing vibration and sound consistency. The ima Flit 120 is the next generation jerkbait designed specifically to trigger strikes and enhance your fishing experience.

Techniques:

• Jerk Pause:  Start with slack and end with slack after each series of jerks allowing the bait to glide back and forth.
• Deadsticking: Start out with a couple cranks and jerks to get the bait to desired depth and then pause the lure with slack line.
• Burning: Reel the jerkbait in fast spurts stopping periodically. A very effective technique around shad spawns and schooling fish.
  • Length: 120mm 4.5in
    Weight: 14g, 1/2oz
    Type: Suspends 6-8ft
    Hooks: #6

Jigs are not all the same and the Bass Patrol Football Jigs are in a class of their own.  They have a japanese style head and each one is hand tied for longevity and durability.  

The premium skirts and Gamakatsu hooks put this little baby up an a very tall pedestal.  The low price of these jigs does not represent the quality and you can loose them without throwing a temper tantrum.

Step Up the Size, Keep the Action

Hookup Baits are hand-crafted in San Diego and engineered around shape, color, and action — the three things that actually trigger bites. The Large body is the middle ground in the Hookup Baits lineup: bigger than the Medium for more water displacement and a larger profile, but sized for the versatile 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads that cover a wide range of inshore and nearshore situations. When the body wears out, swap it onto your existing jig head and you're back fishing in seconds. Five bodies per pack keeps you covered all day.

The Right Fit for Your Jig Head

These bodies are designed specifically for Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads. The larger profile pushes more water and gives fish a bigger target — ideal when yellowtail or calico bass are keyed on larger baitfish or when you need more action at depth. Like all Hookup Baits products, the Large body can be cast, jigged vertically, or trolled.

Why Replacement Bodies Make Sense

Soft plastic bodies take a beating — from fish, from rocks, from repeated casts through structure. Buying replacement bodies instead of whole new jigs keeps your proven jig head in rotation and saves money over time. If you've found a color that's been producing, stocking up on bodies means you never have to fish without it.

Seven Colors, Matched to the Conditions

• Brown Silver — natural baitfish imitation with flash, effective in a wide range of conditions
• Red Crab — high-contrast attractor color, great in low-vis or stained water
• Chovy — anchovy-match profile, a staple when 'chovies are the primary forage
• Sardine Green — natural sardine imitation, strong in clear water and bright conditions
• Pearl Glow Green — subtle glow finish for low-light and deeper presentations
• Pearl White — versatile high-flash color that works across species and conditions
• Mint — translucent, subtle color for pressured fish and clear water

Three Ways to Fish It

• Cast and retrieve — work it along kelp edges, structure, and rocky points
• Vertical jigging — drop to the mark and work it up through the water column
• Trolling — pull it behind the boat to cover water and locate fish

Best Conditions

• Inshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, rocky structure, and open water
• Situations where a larger profile triggers more aggressive strikes
• Any session where fish are keyed on larger baitfish like sardines or mackerel

Best For

• Yellowtail and calico bass on cast-and-retrieve and vertical jig presentations
• Bonito and barracuda when fish are chasing larger bait
• Anglers who already fish Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, or HUB Bullet jig heads and want to stock up on bodies
• Anyone looking to extend the life of their existing jig investment

Key Features

• Brand: Hookup Baits (designed & manufactured in San Diego, CA)
• Fits: 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads
• Pack contents: 5 replacement bodies
• Colors: Brown Silver, Red Crab, Chovy, Sardine Green, Pearl Glow Green, Pearl White, Mint

How to Replace the Body

Watch the official Hookup Baits tutorial below for a step-by-step walkthrough on swapping out the soft body on your jig head.

Tackle Express Tips

• Brown Silver is a versatile all-around color — if you're not sure what the fish are keyed on, start here and adjust based on what's getting bit.
• Pearl Glow Green is worth keeping in your bag for early morning or late afternoon sessions when light is low — the subtle glow finish can make a real difference at depth.
• Keep a few extra bodies in your tackle bag on every trip. Bodies wear out fast when fish are biting — having spares means you never have to slow down.

FAQ

What jig heads do these bodies fit?
These replacement bodies are designed specifically for Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads. For smaller jig heads, see the Medium Replacement Bodies. For larger offshore jig heads, see the Big Game Replacement Bodies.

How many bodies come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 replacement bodies in your selected color.

How does the Large compare to the Medium and Big Game bodies?
The Large fits 3/8oz and 5/8oz jig heads — bigger than the Medium (1/8oz and 1/4oz) for more water displacement and a larger profile, but smaller than the Big Game (1oz and 1.5oz) which is built for offshore pelagics like tuna. The Large is the go-to for inshore and nearshore yellowtail and calico bass fishing.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Double Tail Grub?

The Yamamoto Double Tail Grub is the go-to when you need more action, more bulk, and more disturbance than a single tail grub can deliver. Two curly tails working simultaneously create a larger disturbance that helps fish hone in on your bait from a distance — making it one of the most effective jig trailers, spider jig components, and spinnerbait trailers in the Yamamoto lineup. Add it to a Yamamoto Skirt to build your own custom spider jig color combination, or pin it onto a spinnerbait to slow your retrieve and add extra bulk and resistance. Available in 4" and 5" sizes, 20 per pack.

Main Use & Benefit

A dual curly tail grub available in 4" and 5" sizes that produces twice the disturbance and action of a single tail — ideal as a jig trailer, spider jig component, and spinnerbait trailer where extra bulk, resistance, and tail action trigger strikes that a single tail can't match.

Problem It Solves

A single tail grub adds action to a jig or spinnerbait, but sometimes you need more — more bulk to slow the fall, more disturbance to attract fish from a distance, and more tail action to trigger strikes on the pause. The Double Tail Grub's two curly tails deliver all three, making it the upgrade choice when a single tail isn't getting the job done.

Advantages

• ✅ Dual curly tails — twice the disturbance and action of a single tail grub
• ✅ Extra bulk and resistance — slows the fall and retrieve on jigs and spinnerbaits
• ✅ Spider jig compatible — pairs with Yamamoto Skirts for custom color combinations
• ✅ Yamamoto soft plastic formula — supple for great hook penetration, realistic feel
• ✅ Available in 4" and 5" sizes — choose based on jig size and target species
• ✅ Wide range of proven Yamamoto colors
• ✅ 20 per pack
• ⚠️ More bulk than a single tail — can overpower smaller jigs; best on 3/8 oz and larger

When to Choose It

Reach for the Double Tail Grub when you want to add more action, bulk, and disturbance to a jig or spinnerbait than a single tail can provide — especially when you need to slow your retrieve, when fish are keying on a larger profile, or when you want to build a custom spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt. Choose the 4" for standard jig and spinnerbait applications, and the 5" when you want maximum bulk and a slower fall on larger jigs.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jig Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz flipping jig, football jig, or swim jig; the dual tails add kicking action on every hop and a slower fall that triggers strikes on the pause
• Spider Jig — combine with a Yamamoto Skirt on a round head jig for a custom spider jig; the dual tails complement the skirt's action for a full, pulsing presentation
• Spinnerbait Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz spinnerbait to add bulk, resistance, and dual tail action that slows the retrieve and triggers strikes on the pause
• Buzzbait Trailer — pin onto a buzzbait for extra bulk and a kicking tail action that keeps fish committed on the bite
• Jighead — thread onto a 1/4–3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone swimming presentation with maximum tail action

Best Conditions

• Stained to murky water where extra disturbance helps fish locate the bait
• Heavy cover and structure where a slower fall triggers more strikes
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are active and keying on larger profiles
• Year-round as a jig trailer — the dual tails produce action in any water temperature
• Any depth — equally effective shallow on spinnerbait and deep on football jig

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match size to jig weight — Use the 4" Double Tail on jigs 3/8 oz and under for a balanced profile. Move to the 5" on 1/2 oz and larger jigs — the extra bulk and resistance of the 5" complements heavier jigs and produces a slower, more enticing fall on football jigs dragged over deep structure.
2. Build a spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt — The Double Tail Grub is one of the best spider jig components available. Pair a Cinnamon w/ Black & Purple Flake 4" with a matching Yamamoto Skirt on a 3/8 oz round head jig for a custom color combination that's deadly for largemouth in heavy cover. The dual tails complement the skirt's pulsing action perfectly.
3. Slow down on the spinnerbait — The Double Tail Grub adds significant bulk and resistance to a spinnerbait — use this to your advantage by slowing your retrieve speed. The extra bulk causes the spinnerbait to helicopter and flutter on the pause, and the dual tails keep working even when the blade stops. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Double Tail Grub?
A: The 4" is the standard size for most jig trailer and spinnerbait applications — it adds bulk and dual tail action without overpowering smaller jigs (3/8 oz and under). The 5" has more bulk and resistance, making it better for larger jigs (1/2 oz and up), football jig trailers on deep structure, and situations where you want maximum bulk and a slower fall.

Q: How do I build a spider jig with the Double Tail Grub?
A: Thread the Double Tail Grub onto a 3/8–1/2 oz round head jig, then slide a Yamamoto Skirt up the hook shank so it sits behind the jig head. The skirt's tentacles and the grub's dual tails work together to create a full, pulsing presentation. Match the grub color to the skirt color or go contrasting for a reaction color combination.

Q: Can the Double Tail Grub be fished solo on a jighead?
A: Yes — thread it onto a 1/4–3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone presentation with maximum tail action. The dual tails produce significantly more disturbance than a single tail grub on the same jighead, making it effective in stained water and when fish are keying on a larger, more active profile.

The Decoy VJ-71 jighead is one of the first jig heads designed for weedless jiging and worming. Its EWG-style hook allows the angler to rig it weedless and the longer shank of the hook places the hook point where it needs to be for good hooksets. The light-wire hook allows for excellent hook penetration.

The Ima Little Stik 135 Topwater bait measures in at 5.5 inches long and weighs 1 oz. Just 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. Professional Angler & Guide, Randy Pringle, designed this bait so novice anglers and experts alike can make the bait walk back and forth to resemble an injured or feeding baitfish.

All colors have a feathered treble on the rear and regular treble hooks on the front and middle.  Often times, we will remove the front treble for better action and less chance of the line hooking on it.

Team Davies Tear Shot Tungsten Worm Weights are 99% tungsten and do not have a sleeve inside.  There is a lot of talk about what is better, sleeve or no sleeve.  We prefer no sleeve because the sleeve can cause abrasion on the ends but can also fall out.  When it falls out, it's rougher in the inside than it would have been had it no sleeve at all.  When it starts out with no sleeve, the inside is smooth and usually has a powder paint coating to deter any nicks or damage to your line.  We've had more problems with sleeved weights than non sleeve and Team Davies agrees.  We have never had a complaint for over 4 years and we think these are a great value for a great product.

Some anglers like the sleeve, others prefer it without.  We haven't noticed any difference between the two but maybe on light line it would cause chaffing on the line.
