Yamamoto Sanshouo Salamander is again! However for the way lengthy?

For those who’re a bass fisherman who’s into massive, fats pitching baits, then you definitely most likely bear in mind the Yamamoto Sanshouo. The 5-inch plastic resembled a water canine and made an enormous splash within the bass fishing world again in 2016 when it got here to market. The plastic was then discontinued, leaving many followers, together with me, trying to find an alternate creature bait.

On my newest journey to the sort out store, I almost broke my neck after passing a lure bag hanging on the shelf. It was a regular black and lightweight blue Yamamoto bundle, however on the bar code sticker it learn, “5-inch Sanshouo”.

Nonetheless in disbelief, I opened the bag and inspected the plastics, and got here to the belief that certainly, one in every of my favourite lures was again on the shelf!

Upon returning house I did some research to search out that the lure was again in manufacturing however with a caveat – it’s being labeled as a “restricted version”.

Here’s what Crispin Powley, the Senior VP at GSM Fishing mentioned – “This challenge is basically paying homage to the parents which have all the time thought exterior of the field. We’ve had quite a few client and retail requests to deliver again the Sanshouo, so we determined to do a restricted version run with common colours.”

The brand new launch is available in 4 Yamamoto colours, and are very versatile. I do know as a result of I’ve used it on a chatter bait, swim jig, jig trailer, and even weightless with a worm hook.

Initially conceptualized by Western Professional Bub Tosh, Jr. in 2016, the Sanshouo was by no means simply one other run-of-the-mill fishing lure. From its inception, the bait was designed to face out—actually and figuratively. Its distinct 5-inch profile mimics a number of aquatic creatures, together with waterdogs, sculpins, gobies, and bluegills.

However one of the best factor concerning the Sanshouo Salamander is the large tail, which aggressively flips backwards and forwards, transferring a ton of water.

Again in 2017, I used a Texas-rigged black Sanshouo to land a 5-pounder in a close-by river so my confidence within the plastic is excessive.

For sure, I purchased all 4 colours and am stocked up for Spring after I’ll use this bait within the shallows for bedding bass!
