{"product_id":"ima-sasuke-120-reppa","title":"Ima Sasuke 120 Reppa","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eIma Sasuke 120 Reppa\u003c\/strong\u003e puts a tight wobbling and rolling baitfish presentation just below the surface, with a shifting tungsten weight system to help you reach water beyond the first line of wash. This 120mm, 18g slow-floating minnow is a practical choice when you want casting distance without moving to a bulky, heavier plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast across a current seam, bring the line tight, and let a steady retrieve establish the swim. Short rod twitches add a change of direction, while a brief pause lets the slow-floating body rise. It is a versatile way to work shallow feeding lanes rather than rushing a lure past fish holding near the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReach the Seam, Stay in the Shallow Zone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe internal tungsten weights shift toward the tail during the cast, then return forward on the retrieve. That change in balance supports distance casting and a stable swimming presentation. The dished lip produces the Sasuke's characteristic wobbling and rolling action, with a stated running range of 70–90cm. Current, line diameter, rod angle, and retrieve speed affect actual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e surf casting, inlet and estuary current seams, shallow inshore baitfish presentations, and targeting striped bass or calico bass where forage and conditions suit a 120mm minnow. Work open lanes beside structure rather than through heavy weed or exposed rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Right Pick If You Want a Shallow Swimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Reppa when baitfish are riding high, a topwater is not drawing interest, or you want a swimming plug that rises slowly during pauses. Start with a steady retrieve in moving water and add occasional twitches when fish follow without committing. It is not the first choice for probing deep water or crawling through snag-filled cover: its shallow running range and three treble hooks make open water the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Makes the Reppa Different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTungsten weight transfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e shifts casting weight rearward, then forward for the retrieve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow-floating body:\u003c\/strong\u003e allows a rising pause between swimming sequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDished lip:\u003c\/strong\u003e creates wobbling and rolling action on a steady retrieve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABS plastic construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e a hard-bodied baitfish presentation for saltwater casting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Owner ST-46 size #6 hooks:\u003c\/strong\u003e the listed factory hook configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels \u0026amp; Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead style=\"background-color:#3399cc;color:#ffffff;\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLure Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBuoyancy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRunning Depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHooks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSasuke 120 Reppa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120mm \/ approx. 4.75 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18g \/ approx. 5\/8 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow floating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70–90cm \/ approx. 2.3–3 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWobbling \u0026amp; rolling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 × Owner ST-46 #6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four color options share these specifications.

Cast across or slightly up-current, take up slack, and guide the lure through the seam without overpowering it. In calmer water, mix a steady swim with short twitches and brief pauses.
