IMA describes the Kosuke as a compact size lure for light games. It is a shallow minnow, that is effective for surface-conscious fish.
Fishing of small Mebaru in Japan has evolved to a trendy technique. From the giant industry that has developed around the Mebaru species, a significant number of lures with great potential in the field of Light Rock Fishing have been developed. The IMA Kosuke is one of them.
Its total size is at 3.5 cm and it comes in two versions: Sinking at 2.7 gr and Floating at 2.2 gr. The IMA Kosuke is all in all one mouthful with an extra large eye and a strangely, oval shaped lip. Its swimming pattern is erratic with an intensive Wobbling and Rolling motion. Depending on the model, the Ima Kosuke 35 will swim at a depth between 5 and 20 cm for the surface lure and between 20 to 60 cm for the sinking model. You can examine closely the swimming motion of this lure, the product videos.
IMA describes the Kosuke as a compact size lure for light games. It is a shallow minnow, that is effective for surface-conscious fish. It has excellent long-distance casting performance, and like the original model, it has a large lip and good water biting, so information is transmitted at hand accurately.
This lure is an attractive bait for a number of species that we come across in the Mediterranean, such as the White Trevally, the White Seabream, the Saddled Seabream, Needlefish and in general all prey that feed on small offspring. There are times that we need low profile lures, but their miniature size does not help a lot during casting. The IMA suke is an aggressive lure, despite its small volume and you will quickly realize that both during casting and during movement, it can withstand the turbulence caused by wind and waves. Work it with short jerks, vertically or side aiming, with Stop and Go retrieval. The sinking Kosuke will almost never skip to the surface and will preserve its posture, even during more aggressive and fast paced presentations, or in rougher sea conditions.
In those days that a small profile lure is needed, attach a Kosuke to your snap. Check the uploaded Ima video to see how effective this lure can become in crystal clear waters, when you need a quiet and discrete presentation. In the particular videos, in extremely calm conditions, there are techniques which will work this lure even as a floating lure, with a deadly slow retrieve, with the tip of our rod pointing upwards.
The Ima Meba Kosuke 35 is the perfect choice, with Ima company passion laying behind the desire to create amazing lures, even in the ultra small sizes of Light Rock Fishing.
