Hot on the heels of one of the most popular baits of 2023 comes the all-new Yamamoto 2.5" Yamatanuki. Much like its 3.5” big brother, the 2.5” Yamatanuki is a power-finesse offering that fish can’t resist. It weighs ¼ oz alone, is available in 8 colors, falls with the same tantalizing sway and shimmy, and allows for countless rigging opportunities to fit most any scenario. This new size of the Yamatanuki was repeatedly requested by our pros and consumers who wanted a smaller, more compact version of their new favorite soft plastic.

The smaller size allows for greater application in clear water, smallmouth, spotted bass, and other finesse scenarios. The 2.5” perfectly fits the bill as it can be fished on light line, rigged weightless, or on most any style of jig head. It can be cast, pitched, skipped, dropped, or presented however the situation calls for. As usual, you can expect consistent and top-quality products from a bait company that’s proudly made in the USA.

The 2.5” Yamatanuki will take your finesse fishing game to a whole new level! Count Per Bag: 10

The innovative Yamamoto 5” Fat Senko is the same length as our all-time best seller yet boasts a 20% larger diameter. It is made from the very same formula as the original and offers the same legendary fish-catching action that only this worm can deliver. What this does for you, the angler, is provide a version of the 5” Senko that falls faster, casts better, shows up better on sonar, and is more visible to fish due to its size. Available in 16 of your favorite proven colors, the 5 inch Fat Senko will quickly fall into your shortlist of favorite baits.

The regular 5" senko has been used by us since it was introduced over a decade ago.  The action of the senko is unmatched and has a wiggle that can't be duplicated.  The heavy salt in this worm not only makes it sink but it makes fish hold on since it tastes so good. We like it weightless texas rigged as well as wacky rigged depending on what the fish want.  

If you're using the wacky method, try using an O Ring or clear band, we have both here, to minimize damage to the worm and catch more fish on each worm.  Our go-to color is green pumpkin, and is arguable the most popular color ever made.  However, if the water is stained or muddy, using a color that has chartreuse or a lot of flake can have better results.  

The hook we use is an Owner Twistlock 5/0 and we typically use it unweighted.  If we are fishing deeper than 20ft, we will us the weighted version of this hook to help us get deeper quicker.

We are here to help so if you have questions on how to use this bait or any bait on our website, please feel free to contact one of our specialists.

The Yamamoto D-Shad is a new breed of soft plastic jerk bait. Although similar in profile to other soft-body jerkbaits, the Yamamoto D-Shad provides added advantage of salt for weight.

Consider those situations when you're trying to work a fluke-style bait fast below the surface, the usual problem is keeping the lure underwater where it can do the most good. With Yamamoto's unique formula, the D-Shad has the density to stay down even when worked aggressively. That's huge, especially on lakes and rivers where bass respond best to erratic, high-speed retrieves.

When paused, the D-Shad also sinks like a Senko, perfect for fishing it on the fall. Its thicker, heavier tail allows it to sink level and gives it a little wiggle. Available in a range of colors, rig the Yamamoto D-Shad like you would any other soft-plastic jerkbait but with less lead.
