Gary Yamamoto Zako Review

• Bulky profile imitates Bluegill or Shad very effectively
• Many anglers love this bait as a chatterbait trailer, or a vibrating jig trailer
• A perfect bait if your waters have bigger, bulkier baitfish
• This bait as a trailer catches big bass!
• Segmented body and tail provides a lifelike falling action - which also looks incredible on a slow retrieve
• One of the most popular soft swimbaits on the shelves at the moment

The Zako is quickly becoming the most popular bait to throw on the back of a chatterbait. The segmented body gives the bait a unique falling action, which also looks great as a trailer on a slow retrieve or twitch. The Zako can also be used effectively on a weightless Texas rig, or even a Carolina rig.

One thing to consider is the price and the durability of these baits. One bait won't last many fish, but you have to consider the elite action that you're paying for - these baits work.
