The Ima Rattlin Roumba expands the effectiveness of the original Roumba design with the addition of an internal rattle. Perfect for fishing in stained or muddy waters, the internal rattle generates the additional noise often necessary for grabbing a bass' attention in water with low-visibility. The Rattlin Roumba is also available in brighter colors to stand out that much more in dingy water. Designed by Bassmaster Elite Angler Fred Roumbanis, the Ima Rattlin' Roumba can imitate several types of bass prey, including various baitfish, frogs and even mice. With the rod tip up, the Rattlin Roumba creates a natural wake by "wobbling" side-to-side along the water's surface and with the rod facing downward the Rattlin Roumba will dive 12-18 inches below the surface and swim with a seductive, pulsating action. One of the most versatile and effective baits year around, it works great over shallow aquatic grass and is also extremely effective around boat docks, lay-downs, and standing timber. The Ima Rattlin Roumba provides anglers with a fish-calling alternative to the deadly original. Ima Length Weight Depth Hook Rattlin' Roumba 3" 5/8oz 0-2ft #4 Roumban is prefers to fish both versions of the ROUMBA with two main retrieves: on the surface and below. When fishing on the surface retrieve, the best action is produced with a semi-taught line with the rod tip positioned around 11 o’clock. The ROUMBA creates a natural wake by “wobbling” side to side along the water’s surface while producing an enticing sound that makes fish bite. This is an effortless bait that creates the dog walking action on its own. For subsurface cranking, use a medium retrieve to get the ROUMBA to dive and swim with a wobbling pulsating action between 12 to 18 inches below the surface. The ROUMBA can be fished on standard cranking gear with good results. Roumbanis recommends 12 to 17lb monofilament for the surface retrieve and fluorocarbon line in the same sizes when fishing below the surface.
