The Madotachi Gimikin is an innovative Japanese swimbait that brings exceptional versatility to predator fishing. Designed to imitate the erratic movements of a distressed or dying baitfish, it features three unique adjustment systems that allow anglers to customise the lure's action, stability and running depth to suit changing conditions.

Whether you want to fish it as a glidebait, wakebait, crankbait or with a subtle dead-stick presentation, the Gimikin can be quickly adapted without changing lures. Its floating design and adjustable running depth make it equally effective over shallow weed beds, around structure or in open water where big predators are hunting.
