Overview

A high-tech lunker-killer that walks, pops, spits and catches just about anything that swims, the Ima Big Stick is the result of years of development by the Japanese engineering team at Ima and professional angler/guide, Randy Pringle. Extremely easy to fish and impart the proper action, the Big Stick doesn't require a big swimbait rod either, it's actually designed for use with conventional gear. The bait's rear weighted design allows the bait to start up its characteristic action as soon as you start your retrieve, and it also helps increase casting distance and accuracy.

In addition to highly detailed finishes, massive eyes and a unique head, designed to push significant volumes of water, the Ima Big Stick also features eight individual sound chambers that when fished fast creates a huge ruckus, but also allows it to be popped subtly along the surface. Featuring a durable wire-through construction, heavier split rings and Owner hooks, the Ima Big Stick can stand up to any trophy fish - bass, musky, pike, stripers and various saltwater species. It will spit like a magnum popper, walk like the hardest-sashaying walking bait, and anglers don't have to be experts to make it do its thing.

Comments: This is an amazing topwater bait. A few times this year I had explosive days fishing for strippers and caught handfuls of high 20 and low 30 inch fish up into the high teens. It fishes excellent in calm water, good in light movement/ chop and it begins to struggle a little in really fast and choppy water. Overall a great bait with great hardware.

From: Manny: Sacramento, CA 8/30/22

Comments: I have to agree with Mike from California. The original Japanese version was tough and caught a lot of fish for me here in New England. This new version cracks easily and doesn't cast as well or have the action of the original.

From: Unknown: 1/27/22

Comments: Doesn't cast well in wind.  Loaded to 2.3 oz and casts decent.  Excellent owner hooks but split rings need to be heavier.  Split ring opened on a 20+ lb striper for a clean release.

From: Trevor: 5/9/21

Comments: The new ones crack. Cheap thin walled plastic compared to the old Japanese made ones that were like half inch thick. The bait is still a producer but expect it to crack after numerous or big striper. No longer comes with hooks or rings you can trust. IMA should really go back to the original model, they had a winner.

From: Mike: California 5/1/21

Comments: The IMA Big Stik has been me and my sons go to lure for DD stripers during spawning season in the Delta for years. The profile of this lure is so easy to cast. You can cast a mile in open water or just getting it into tight shallow tully spots where those big mama are hanging out. Works great when we get high winds, won't submerge and is loud enough to draw any fish out. Walk it SLOW! My son walks it real fast and that catches a lot of schoolies. All of my DD's have come from a nice full side to side motion. Split rings and hooks have held up very well. The only complaint I have is the feather in the back treble hook comes undone too easily, so I always put a little hot glue on it to keep it together. It's very important to have that feather because that's where the fish will strike first. Tight lines

Comments: Great big bass topwater ant killer striped bass plug. Has awesome action that draws vicious strikes.

From: Matt - Long Island, NY 12/24/17

Comments: This lure is HUGE.  It is awesome, but huge.  It is called "big stick" after all.  It is fun to throw and yes it makes a lot of noise, but it will make you tired for sure.  Also your thumb will be sore from slowing the spool.  IT is enjoyable to trow.  I would love however, if IMA decided to make a few smaller version of the same...maybe a 6", 5", 4" same design.  Just a thought.  They could call them the smaller big stick, the small big stick and the smallest big stick.  Kidding, sort of.  Would like smaller sizes too.

From: Peter: Cleveland, Ohio
