Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon Line – 250 Yards

The Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon Line is the go-to fluorocarbon for anglers who want near-invisibility in the water without sacrificing castability or strength. Nearly invisible below the surface, Vanish is exceptionally soft and low-memory — so it comes off the spool cleanly and casts without the coiling and kinking that plagues stiffer fluorocarbons.

What makes Vanish unique is its color-changing technology: you can see it above the water, but fish can't see it below. The 250-yard spool is ideal for spooling up a full reel or keeping a bulk supply on hand for re-rigging leaders throughout the day.

Features

• Nearly invisible underwater — low refractive index matches water closely
• Color-changing technology — visible to you above water, invisible to fish below
• Exceptionally soft and low-memory — casts cleanly without coiling
• Strong for its diameter — doesn’t sacrifice strength for softness
• 250-yard bulk spool — ideal for spooling reels or stocking up on leader material

Best For

• Applications: Main line, leader material, finesse techniques
• Conditions: Clear water, pressured fisheries, year-round
• Species: Bass, Trout, Walleye, and more

Three Baits in One. Master of All of Them.

The Ima Square Bill Crankbait is Bassmaster Elite Angler Bill Lowen's signature design — a bait he dreamed about for decades and finally brought to life through countless conversations with Ima's engineers in Japan. Most square bills do one thing well. The Ima Square Bill does everything well: burn it, wake it, twitch it, or deflect it off cover. Mix them all on a single retrieve and watch what happens.

Built Around an Earth-Shaking Wobble

The Ima Square Bill's stubby, rounded body produces a wide, aggressive wobble that displaces water and triggers reaction strikes from bass holding tight to cover. The computer-chip lip deflects off wood, rock, and laydowns with a natural, erratic kick that mimics a fleeing baitfish. And two sticky-sharp Owner #6 treble hooks nail even the short strikers — though most bass absolutely choke this bait down.

Why Most Square Bills Have a Weakness

Most square bills are specialists. Some burn well but lose their action when waked. Others deflect off cover but fall apart on a fast retrieve. The Ima Square Bill was engineered to have no weakness — it performs at every speed and in every situation. That versatility is what makes it Bill Lowen's go-to bait and a must-have in any crankbait lineup.

Bill Lowen's Favorite Retrieve

Bill's preferred technique is to mix it all up on a single retrieve — twitching to waking, then reeling it down to three feet and burning it. That unpredictable, multi-speed presentation keeps bass guessing and triggers strikes from fish that have seen every standard crankbait retrieve. The Ima Square Bill is the only bait that can pull it off without losing its action.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a square bill that performs at every retrieve speed
• You're fishing shallow cover — wood, rock, laydowns, docks, and riprap
• You want a bait that deflects off structure with a natural, erratic kick
• Standard square bills are getting ignored on pressured water
• You want a tournament-proven design from a Bassmaster Elite pro

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Burning: Fast, steady retrieve to cover water quickly and trigger reaction strikes from aggressive fish
• Waking: Slow retrieve that keeps the bait just below the surface, creating a visible wake — deadly in low-light conditions
• Twitching: Erratic rod-tip twitches to create a darting, fleeing action — great for finicky fish
• Deflecting: Cast into cover and let the bait deflect off wood, rock, and laydowns — the kick on contact triggers reaction strikes
• Mixed Retrieve: Bill Lowen's favorite — twitch, wake, burn, and deflect all on one retrieve

Best Conditions

• Spring pre-spawn and spawn when bass are shallow and aggressive
• Fall when bass are chasing shad in shallow water
• Anytime bass are holding tight to shallow cover — wood, rock, docks, and riprap
• Stained to moderately clear water where the wobble and color carry
• Low-light periods when a waking retrieve draws fish from a distance

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass
• Techniques: Burning, Waking, Twitching, Deflecting, Mixed Retrieve
• Conditions: Shallow cover, stained water, spring pre-spawn, fall shad patterns

Key Features

• Bill Lowen (Bassmaster Elite) Signature Series design
• Stubby, rounded body produces an earth-shaking wide wobble
• Computer-chip lip deflects naturally off wood, rock, and laydowns
• Two sticky-sharp Owner #6 treble hooks
• Performs at every retrieve speed — burn, wake, twitch, or deflect
• No weakness — a true master of all square bill techniques
• 8 color patterns to match any forage or water condition

Models & Colors

Tackle Express Tips

• Match Color to Water Clarity: In clear water, go with natural patterns like Bluegill, Fred's Perch, or Silver Lining. In stained or murky water, reach for high-visibility colors like Chartreuse Smash, Barred Black Back Chart, or Hot Craw.
• Use Fluorocarbon: 12–15 lb fluorocarbon line sinks and keeps the bait in the strike zone longer. It also has less stretch than mono, giving you better feel for deflections and a more solid hookset.
• Let It Deflect: Don't steer the bait away from cover — aim directly at laydowns, stumps, and rocks. The natural kick on contact is one of the most strike-triggering moments in crankbait fishing.

FAQ

What depth does the Ima Square Bill run?
The Ima Square Bill is a shallow-running crankbait designed for the 1–3 foot depth range, making it ideal for fishing over shallow flats, around docks, and through shallow wood and rock cover.

What rod setup works best?
A medium or medium-heavy 7'–7'4" fiberglass or composite crankbait rod with a 6:1 reel and 12–15 lb fluorocarbon is ideal. The softer tip of a fiberglass rod loads up on the cast and keeps fish pinned during the fight without pulling hooks.

How is the Ima Square Bill different from other square bills?
Most square bills excel at one or two techniques. The Ima Square Bill was specifically engineered by Bill Lowen to perform equally well when burned, waked, twitched, or deflected off cover — making it one of the most versatile shallow crankbaits available.

When John Crews designed the Spro Little John MD 50 Crankbait he wanted a bait that would allow him cover shallow 7-9 ft water quickly and effectively. Crews also wanted a durable yet sensitive bait that could be cast long distances with great accuracy. The Spro Little John Crankbait does all this and more.

The Little John comes equipped with a computer chip board lip. This style of lip is extremely durable and sensitive. The silent tungsten weight transfer system provides the distance and casting accuracy for this small profile bait. The lip design of the Little John gives it a tight wobble but enough action to aid in cover deflection. The tight wobble of the Little John allows you to cover water quickly and effectively. As with all Spro baits the Little John is equipped with sticky sharp Gamakatsu treble hooks.

Medium diver, 7-9ft.

Forged from premium tungsten — roughly 30% denser than lead — these round ball jig heads sink faster, cast farther, and transmit every tap, rock and bite straight up the line so you feel the bottom like never before.

Why anglers choose tungsten ball jig heads

• Unmatched sensitivity: The hardness of tungsten telegraphs structure and strikes for lightning-fast hooksets.
