It the era of power fishing, slinging big baits is the norm. Every angler wants to gear up with super strong ultra thin braid, heavy duty fluorocarbon, and monofilament that is as thick as rope. They want to fish in the heaviest cover available with rods as thick as pool cues and strong enough to take on Giant Bluefin Tuna. That’s all good and well until a cold front moves through and the temperatures spiral downward. The next morning a bluebird sky waits for you without the slightest hint of a breeze all day. That’s when an astute angler will dig out their spinning rod rigged with light line and small lure to catch fish.The ima Foxy Fry is one of those small lures that can catch fish on any day, but really shines after a cold front moves through.

The ima Foxy Fry (www.imalures.com) looks like a smaller version of a large jerkbait. Looks can be deceiving as the Foxy Fry can be used like a crankbait, twitch bait, or jerkbait depending on the retrieve. No matter how fast or slow it’s retrieved the Foxy Fry will keep upright never rolling over and tracks straight.

Professional bass anglers like FLW Tour Pro Michael Murphy and Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Bill Lowen both concur that the ima Foxy Fry can catch fish when no other lure will. “It’s an effective lure early in the spring and a killer around riprap,” said Murphy. While Lowen explained, “I think that it’s a great bait in clear water situations,”  No matter what, when money is on the line and the bite shuts down, you can bet these professional anglers will be digging in their rod box for a spinning rod with a Foxy Fry tied to it.

Interestingly enough, the ima Foxy Fry was really designed for over pressured lakes in Japan. It’s small compact body weighs only 3/16-ounces and measures 2.36-inches in length. The ima Foxy Fry has a fixed weight system meaning the weights inside the lure don’t move. This feature means an angler can cast this finesse lure farther than one with a weight transfer system.

They come rigged with Owner ST-26 #10 hooks and available in six color patterns including Foxy Fry Chartreuse Shad, Foxy Fry Ghost Minnow, Foxy Fry Ghost Ayu, Foxy Fry Ghost Blue Gill, Foxy Fry Soft Red Craw, and Foxy Fry Natural Pro Blue.

It’s a suspending lure. That makes the Foxy Fry rest with its nose down when stopped or at rest. That means they will be extremely popular in the winter and early spring months when suspending lures are at their prime.

Is there a cold front moving your way? Better put away those tuna rods and grab out the spinning tackle rigged with an ima Foxy Fry because it’s better to come into the weigh-in with fish than an empty bag.
