Ima Roumba Crankbait - $15.39

The ima Roumba, designed by Bassmaster Elite Angler Fred Roumbanis, is a unique bait that creates a natural wake by "wobbling" side to side along the water's surface while producing an enticing sound that makes fish bite. This bait is designed to work best when fished over shallow aquatic grass, such as milfoil and hydrilla. It's also extremely effective around boat docks, lay-downs, brush piles, and standing timber. The Roumba produces best results when fished with a medium heavy action, 7-foot rod. A monofilament or copolymer, 12-17 lb. test line will help produce the best action. Fish the bait with a slow, steady retrieve. Be sure to keep the rod tip up and get ready for a massive bass explosion!

"The Roumba is an extremely versatile bait that I'll have tied on at least one rod year round. No matter what lake I go to across the country I know I'll be able to get ‘em good on a Roumba. The reason is simple; I can imitate several types of baitfish with this bait. It can be used as a crawfish scooting right above shallow hydrilla, a frog hoppin' around open water lilly pads, a rat or mouse skitting across the surface, or a bluegill coming up to sun."

Comments: Tied the Baby Bass on the other day for the first time and bam!!! First cast...Finishing shallow lake with a good amount of hydrilla was my surroundings and as I cranked thru the hydrilla and yanked it free, it would get smashed!!! Used Stinkbug version as well and same results...the wobble is mad and makes bass angrier than all hell!

Comments: When me and my boys tie on the Roumba's, it turns into an all night slurp party! You know what "SKURDOOOSH" is??? That's the sound you're gonna hear when lunker bass do triple-gainers out of the water in lukewarm pursuit your Roumba. I like to fish the black one with the neon green head... cuz it looks like Dennis Rodman and I think that might piss them off. It must cuz my Roumba looks like it got in a scuffle with some 50 grit.

Comments: Without a doubt, THE best wake bait i've yet to fish. Mine has OVER 100 fish on it, is on its third set of hooks, and still outfishes every other 20 dollar bait in my box. If your a pond guy, like me, and dont have many opportunities to fish larger waters, this IS the only bait youll need.

Comments:  IMO, the best wakebait you can buy.  This thing flat catches fish.  It has a super wide wobble.  Almost feels like a fighting fish itself.  Makes a wide wake.  Fished a little faster and it retrieves just under the surface.  Excellent quality, hooks and paint.
