Lizard-style soft-plastic featuring extended free-rig fall time and strong vibration
1. Longer free-fall time when using a free-rig, increasing the time to entice bass
The DB Yuma Free is a lizard-style soft-plastic bait developed with free-rig fishing in mind.
The free-rig is a setup where the weight falls and reaches the bottom before the soft-plastic, allowing the soft-plastic to fall naturally like a weightless-rig while being tension-free. However, when observed using Forward-Facing Sonar (FFS) such as Livescope, it's often seen that the weight and soft-plastic don't separate by more than 12inchs during descent, which can be disappointing for anglers expecting a greater difference between imagination and reality.
To maximize the advantages of the free-rig, anglers often choose flat-bodied soft-plastics that mimic bluegill etc. to increase water resistance and maximize the distance between the weight and the soft-plastic. However, these baits may not be as attractive to bass that aren't actively feeding on bluegill etc., and the simple design of flat soft-plastics can lack vibration during the fall.
To address this, Jackall developed the DB Yuma Free to combine a "long free-fall time" with "strong vibration during the fall." The DB Yuma Free features specially shaped arms on both sides of the body that create a rolling action during the fall while also acting as a brake in the water. This design allows for maximum separation between the weight and the soft-plastic, extending the free-fall time and enabling a longer period of appeal to bass.
2. After the weight hits bottom, the arms and leech tail continue to vibrate with just their own weight, continuously attracting bass
The appeal of the DB Yuma Free continues even after it reaches the bottom. The body, made with high-density material and featuring a unique deep groove rib design, creates an enticing action with just its own weight after the weight has settled on the bottom. Additionally, the vertically flat leech style tail amplifies subtle vibrations, replicating the natural movement of live bait. These features work together to maintain the bass's interest and maximize bite opportunities.
3. Easy to control operability and tempo changes, making it user-friendly for free-rig beginners
The DB Yuma Free is designed to be angler-friendly, even for those new to free-rig fishing. One drawback of the free-rig is that it can be difficult for anglers to visualize the bait's behavior underwater due to the free tension. However, the DB Yuma Free's arms create just enough resistance in the water to transmit the action's sensation to the angler.
Moreover, the thin, vertical leech style tail amplifies subtle movements, ensuring that the bait continues to attract bass even with minimal rod technique after settling on the bottom.
4. Improve your catch rate by alternating between 3.8-inch and 4.5-inch sizes
As of 2024, the DB Yuma Free is available in two sizes: 3.8 inches and 4.5 inches. This allows anglers to choose the optimal size based on fishing conditions and target bass size. The 3.8-inch version uses a softer material, making it well-suited for spinning tackle and situations that require a more delicate approach. The 4.5-inch version, on the other hand, is made of a firmer material, making it ideal for use with casting gear when targeting larger bass. By alternating between sizes and firmness, anglers can expect high catch rates in various situations.
5. Recommended Hook Size
- For 4.5” : #1/0~2/0
- For 3.8” : #1
6. Improve your catch rate by using in combination with other soft-plastics
While the DB Yuma Free is an excellent lizard-style soft-plastic for free-rig fishing, when bass are clearly feeding on flat-bodied baitfish like bluegill, we recommend using the Honey Nugget, another free-rig specific soft-plastic from Jackall. For targeting bass feeding on larger baitfish, we recommend the Imakatsu Javallon, which mimics baitfish fleeing to deeper water when used with a free-rig.
