ima's Introduces new BeastHunter Crankbaits and Roumba Patterns

Introduction: One of the stops we always look forward to each and every ICAST is in the ima booth. Their Shaker and Big Stik baits are favorites among all the staff, so when it finally came time to drop in to see what was new, we were more than anxious to proceed. On hand to takes around were Jun Shoji and Fred Roumbanis.

BeastHunter Crank: Jun Shoji was just as excited to see us as we were to see his new BeastHunter crank. It is a 2.64 inch (67mm) bait weighing 3/4oz (23g), and is built to run ad depths of about 10 - 13 feet on 14lb fluorocarbon. It comes with two #2 Owner hooks and will be available in six different colors.

It is designed to dive 10-13 feet deep on 14lb fluorocarbon.

Looks like Jun has been playing with the samples!

Flit 100 & 120: We still haven't made our way through the original Flit 120 nevermind the Flit 100 introduced last year, but we're excited to see the new color choices coming later this year. Both sizes in the Flit will now be available in Table Rock Shad and Boned Shad - colors that should do well at both Clear Lake and the Delta.

The Flit receives two new colors, Boned Shad and ...

... Table Rock Shad.

Other New Colors: As if that weren't enough, ima is also introducing new colors in the Big Stik, and of course, Fred Roumbanis's signature bait as well. The Roumba wake bait gets an all black and ghost perch color for 2012.
