The Imakatsu Gekiasa III IK Jerk is a premium deep-diving suspending jerkbait engineered to target aggressive, suspended bass feeding on larger baitfish. Measuring 130mm (5.1 inches) and weighing 21g (3/4 oz class), this JDM powerhouse is built to cover water efficiently while maintaining an erratic, fish-triggering action.
Designed by legendary angler Katsutaka Imae, the Gekiasa III IK Jerk features a magnetic weight transfer system with a sintered tungsten ball, delivering exceptional casting distance and a stable flight posture even in windy conditions. Its flat-sided body creates a tight rolling action combined with intense flash and strong water displacement, helping bass locate the bait from deep water or over wide areas.
With a suspending design and diving depth of 4 to 5 feet on standard retrieves — capable of reaching deeper ranges up to 4 meters on long casts — the Gekiasa III IK Jerk excels when worked with aggressive jerks, sharp twitches, or steady retrieves. It is especially effective during autumn, winter, and early spring when bass are feeding heavily on minnows and suspending around offshore structure.
Whether targeting pressured fish or hunting trophy-class bass, the Imakatsu Gekiasa III IK Jerk delivers the depth, flash, and reaction-inducing action serious anglers expect from high-end Japanese tackle.
