A COLLABORATION BETWEENKATSUTAKAIMAE, THE FOUNDER OF IMAKATSU, AND YUKI ITO, THE FOUNDER OF MEGABASS, THEIXISHAD (PRON. I BY I, FOR ITO XIMAE), IS A NEXT-GENERATION SHAD PLUG THAT REFLECTS THE COMBINED EXPERTISE OF TWO OF JAPANS FOREMOST LURE DESIGNERS AND ANGLERS. INCORPORATING THE LBOII(PAT.) BALANCER SYSTEM, THE TYPE-3 CASTS SURPRISINGLY WELL FOR ITS SIZE, OVERCOMING ONE OF THE KEY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SMALL SHAD-PLUG CATEGORY. WITH AN EXCEEDINGLY REALISTIC, COMPACT PROFILE, AND DAZZLINGLY TIGHT, HYPER-PITCH ROLLING ACTION, THE TYPE-3 ELEVATES THE PERFORMANCE OF PAST SHAD-PLUG STAPLES.
THE TYPE-3 FEATURES THE GREATEST DEPTH OF THE SERIES WITH ITS ABILITY TO TRACE AMAXIMUMDEPTH OF 3.0M(9-10FT), BUT IT CAN ALSO PERFORM EXCEPTIONALLYWELL IN THE SHALLOWER 4-5FT RANGEDUE TO ITS DEFLECTION CHARACTERISTICS.
