Quick take
Yamamoto Yamatanuki 2.5 inch heavy worm for light line and weightless rigging, trendsetting finesse bait.
This 2.5 inch Yamatanuki comes as a pack of ten in a sight flash color. Each bait weighs about a quarter ounce, and its hook slot resists snags, so it can be rigged on a Ned head or a Carolina rig to work the bottom. It gives bass anglers a small heavy stick bait for light line.
Best for
- Clear water finesse fishing for smallmouth
- Weightless rigging and light jig heads

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
