A Super Shallow-Specific Flat-Sided Crankbait with Flashing and a Natural Appearance
1. Shallow Enough for Success in Both Shallow and Mid-Depth Waters, Diving Just 50cm (1.6 Feet)
True to its name, "Gekiasa" (meaning 'very shallow' in Japanese), if your frequently visited fishing spots have shallow areas of approximately 1m in depth (3.2ft), then the Gekiasaflat is the ideal lure for you. Most of the flat-sided crankbaits available in the market tend to dive deeper than 1m (3.2ft), causing them to swim while occasionally knocking against the bottom in shallow areas. However, bass in extremely shallow waters have a tendency to corral their prey towards the water's surface, preventing them from escaping into gaps between rocks while hunting for baitfish. During such hunting scenarios, bass often keep their focus upward. (It goes without saying that bass skilled in such hunting are often of larger size.)

Taking these factors into consideration, it becomes evident that lures diving deeper than 1m(3.2ft) are not the optimal choice for ultra-shallow fields. Therefore, Imakatsu has developed the Gekiasa Flat, which swims at a depth of just 50cm+ (1.6ft), diving slightly deeper than wakebaits but shallower than typical flat-sided crankbaits.
2. Attracting Bass from a Distance with Intense Flash and Natural Presentation

During low water temperatures and tough conditions, having the right lure can make all the difference. The Gekiasaflat is a crankbait designed to excel in these situations. With its wide-body size, it reflects light effectively to grab the attention of bass. What truly sets the Gekiasaflat apart is its high-frequency rolling action, creating an impressive number of flashes, reminiscent of a spinnerbait's willow-leaf blade.
What makes the Gekiasaflat even more appealing is its lifelike appearance and shallow diving angle, allowing it to swim horizontally just like natural baitfish. This unique feature keeps bass from easily identifying it as an artificial lure.

The Gekiasaflat is built to quickly attract bass with its vigorous flashing and then entice them to strike with its natural look and swimming posture. It's an ideal choice when fishing in murky waters, during low-light conditions, or when targeting widely dispersed bass around structures like submerged logs or aquatic vegetation.

The lure named "Gekiasashad" shares a similar appearance and name with Gekiasaflat. It's an Imakatsu shad lure that, like Gekiasaflat, is designed to swim in the shallow area just above 50cm (1.64ft). However, when compared to Gekiasaflat, Gekiasashad has a smaller size, a more subdued action, and less flashing. As a result, Gekiasaflat excels in alerting distant bass to the presence of the lure, while Gekiasashad is better at enticing bass to strike.
