Yamamoto Baits Uni floating soft lure

Yamamoto Uni – floating soft lure

Yamamoto Uni is an unusual, sea-urchin-shaped floating soft lure designed to tempt wary predators. Its distinctive profile and moving appendages create a natural, attractive action for perch, zander and black bass.

Yamamoto's specially developed TPE combines elasticity, durability and buoyancy. A central ball measuring 1.3 cm in diameter is surrounded by flexible appendages with thickened tips. Water resistance makes them produce subtle vibrations as the rig sinks and with even the smallest movement of the rod tip.

Its positive buoyancy suits Neko Rig, Drop Shot, Free Rig and lightly weighted Wacky Rig presentations. The lure can maintain an attractive position above the bottom with minimal movement.

Features

• Distinctive sea-urchin profile offers an alternative to conventional soft lures for cautious fish.
• Floating construction helps the lure rise above the bottom and maintain a natural position.
• Flexible, durable TPE retains its shape and function after repeated strikes.
• Appendages with thickened tips respond to water movement and minimal rod-tip movements, producing subtle vibrations during the rig's descent.
• Neko Rig allows movement above the bottom with minimal input; Drop Shot holds the lure at a chosen depth while its appendages remain active.
• Free Rig lets the lure move freely and use its natural buoyancy; lightly weighted Wacky Rig provides an unusual action.
• Suitable for finesse fishing and inactive predators, particularly large perch, zander and black bass.
