Imakatsu IK-800R2 Deep Diving Crankbaits

Diving deep down into the abyss, the Imakatsu IK-800 R2 Deep Impact explores water that other crankbaits won’t, so it can catch the fish that other crankbaits can’t. Constructed with a durable, oversized lip, the Imakatsu IK-800 R2 Deep Impact is designed to dive down to 18-plus feet quickly and with an irresistible action. On the underside of the lip, the crank features a small eyelet that is made to attach a small dropshot style weight for a quicker dive and a more aggressive posture. Offered in a number of incredibly effective color patterns, the Imakatsu IK-800 R2 Deep Impact ensures that no bass is out of reach, no matter how deep they dwell.

Known for their original designs and flawless construction, Imakatsu is a premier lure company that is based out of Japan and praised for their ability to produce fish-catching lures. Previously only available in Japan, Imakatsu lures are full of innovative features and unique colorways that standout among many domestic lures. Incredibly hard to find in the U.S., Imakatsu lures are sure to make a treasured and exotic addition to your tacklebox. 

The IK800R2's diving ability clears 18 feet, the deepest in its class, when cast, and reaches over 26 feet when dragged within 164 feet (both when using 12LB fluoro). In addition, by attaching a quick changer sinker (recommended 5g) to the original optional hanger, the casting distance, diving depth, and diving range are dramatically improved. After a full cast, the lure is allowed to sink to the bottom, and then dragged after waiting for the line to sink sufficiently, making it possible to easily pull the lure over the 26 to 32 foot range, even within the JB's 50m dragging rule. The IK800R2 is a one-of-a-kind super deep crank that has Japan's smelt lakes in its reach, and it will completely change the balance of power in the deep waters.
