STIR UP A SURFACE FEEDING FRENZY ON EVERY CAST…
SLIM SHAPE APPEAL…
The ima Skimmer is unique among hard plastic topwater stickbaits in
that only the ima Skimmer has the slender body shape of a 5″ soft
plastic stickbait. This slim profile has proven to be one of the most
appealing bass lure shapes ever. There’s a whole lot to be said simply
for this slender profile and silhouette, and the ima Skimmer is really
the only topwater hardbait that has it.
WILD BOILING ACTION…
A large part of the Skimmer’s action is caused on the ending
movement of each zig or zag as the tail-weighted back end of the ima
Skimmer stirs the water wildly causing a large boil. So every time that
the Skimmer zigs or zags left or right, the final movement of the
weighted tail stirs the surface into a large boil, and the Skimmer slips
out barely ahead of the boil, just like a desperate baitfish narrowly
escaping a bass’s lunge.
COMPETITIVE FEEDING SIGNALS CALL BASS IN FROM FAR AND WIDE…
The Skimmer’s action then becomes a non-stop series of ever-widening
boils emanating behind it. It’s like having a school of surface-feeding
bass on the scene, all boiling the surface behind the ima Skimmer’s
tail. If there’s ever anything that gets a non-committal bass to bite,
it is other bass feeding in front of it – and that’s the competitive
feeding cue that the Skimmer’s tail-stirring movement sends out to all
bass within range of sensing the surface-feeding boils trailing out
behind the Skimmer.
