Creature Fever: Gettin' Crazy With the Yamamoto PsychoDad!
Introduction: Gary Yamamoto is widely known for producing some of the hottest baits available today. Like Gary himself, his son Derek shares the same passion for both fishing and creating quality baits. His Kinami lineup offers anglers hard and soft baits in a variety of styles and colors. I actually started fishing Kinami baits about ten years ago, and quickly became a big fan of their version of the Senko called the Flash. At ICAST 2012, Cal and myself visited the folks at Kinami to check out their brand new PsychoDad baits that are designed with punching in mind. They were receiving a lot of buzz at the time, and we just had to learn more about what made them so special. Imitating crawfish, these highly-anticipated soft plastics showed a lot of potential and we knew we had to get our hands on some for a full review. Now being sold in Yamamoto packaging, do they really perform as good as they look?
I firmly believe GYCB get more bites than most other brand of soft plastics, but they're just too darn fragile! They rarely last beyond one bite. For the price, I'll just look for alternatives.
