Geecrack Yahmanfat is a bulky soft lure with a thick profile and a finely ribbed body. The numerous ribs catch the water and create subtle vibrations during the retrieve, while the substantial profile gives the lure a strong presence underwater.
A distinctive feature of the design is the narrowed section in the middle of the body. After the lure reaches the bottom, its sections do not settle at exactly the same time, creating additional movement even after the fall has finished. This helps keep the lure active during pauses.
Yahmanfat is made from Geecrack's proprietary S.A.F. material, combining salt, amino acids and flavour. The finely ribbed surface increases water contact and enhances the lure's movement during the fall and when worked close to the bottom.
Geecrack particularly recommends Yahmanfat for the free rig. Its design also works well with Texas rig and Jika rig setups, where anglers can make full use of its bulky profile, ribbed body and characteristic movement after contact with the bottom.
The 5.8-inch version comes in packs of 6. Yahmanfat is particularly suited to fall presentations, short lifts and slow fishing close to the bottom.
Geecrack is a Japanese fishing brand based in Gifu, specialising in the design and development of fishing lures and tackle. Soft lures form an important part of the range, with distinctive body shapes, pronounced ribbing and actions designed for both conventional retrieves and modern finesse techniques.
One of Geecrack's most recognisable features is its original S.A.F. material. The name stands for Salt, Amino Acid and Flavor, combining salt, amino acids and scent. This material is used across many of the brand's soft lure ranges and adds an extra taste and scent stimulus to the lure's physical action.
Among the most distinctive models are the heavily ribbed Bellows Gill and Bellows Stick, shad-style lures such as Gyro Star, Iron Shad, Jack Master and Revival Shad, as well as smaller finesse lures including Portio Shad, Portio Curly, Moon Curly and Dumbbell Worm. Each design differs in body profile, tail action and behaviour on the fall, allowing anglers to match the lure to a particular presentation.
Depending on the model, Geecrack soft lures can be fished on jig heads or rigs such as drop shot, Texas Rig, Free Rig, Carolina Rig and Neko Rig. The range includes both compact lures for subtle presentations and larger, bulkier designs suited to stronger actions or use as jig trailers.
Geecrack also develops lures for saltwater fishing. Ranges such as PIKUPIKU Pintail and Tairaba Super Curly use designs suited to light saltwater techniques and tai-raba fishing while retaining the brand's characteristic approach to soft-lure action and scented materials.
The wide choice of shapes, sizes and actions makes Geecrack lures suitable for many spinning and casting techniques, from slow fishing on light rigs and controlled fall presentations to bottom fishing and use as trailers on different types of jigs.
