What have you caught on an "Ika" ?

[jignfule]

Been using both 3 & 4 inch Ikas as my go to bait lately and been slaughtering the LMB & smallies, but have also caught 20'' Trout, huge bluegill, perch, & even a 10 lbs Carp on the Ikas. Pretty versitile

2 pound crappie on a fat ika and my buddy caught a catfish as well!

Ive caught Perch and even a Walleye on an Ila. One of my favorite baits!

I can't buy an Ika fish.

Over the years, the GYCB Senko has been my #1 producer.

Since the introduction of the Fat Ika several years ago, it

has been a close second for largemouth and my #1 soft

plastic for smallmouth bass. (The Rage Tail Baby Craw is

coming on strong!)

The Fat Ika is best suited for shallow water or more generally,

<12' deep. Always weightless and skirt forward. Thin wire

Gamakatsu 3/0 or 4/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook. For me, the

Fat Ika is always fished on spinning tackle with #6 Yo-Zuri

Hybrid or Hybrid Ultra Soft.

I just started using it but its a great producing bait. The green pumkin one is a smallmouth magnet and the black & blue has produced quite a few LMB for me.

Still a Senko angler but IKA is the real deal for me.

I have just started trying these types of baits.  Nothing caught yet.  I usually fish them weightless working them like a senco.  Am I doing something wrong?  Also, what is the difference between the Ika and Kinami Palm tree?

Same bait.

The Fat Ika is great but the Jackall Cover Craw is also very good!

Too bad, I would have paid you for em.

I have fished all the ikas a fair amount. The tiny and regular ika work well on small darter or ball head jigs. The plasitc on the tiny ika is very durable and will last a long time. A 1/16 ounce Owner darter head fits it very well. I fish these ikas early and late in the year as an alternative to fishing a tube w/ an insert head.

The big and fat ikas do well weightless. I like to drag them like a tube. Early in the year I find they don't get mired down into the early bloom algae as much as a weighted t-rig plastic. The fat ika is pretty heavy. It can be fished deeper and sometimes I like to use it around chunk rock. It won't hang as much because it is so wide. I generally fish the ika series early and later in the year. I have not fished them as much the past year or 2 but I still carry a few bags with me.

Here is a nice ika bass from a few years back.

I catch quite a few fish on these things.  No big ones yet though.
