Ima ROUMBA & Rattling ROUMBA A Wake Bait That Does More Than Just Wake The Ima ROUMBA is a one-of-a-kind surface-to-shallow bait that delivers a natural side-to-side waking action paired with a subtle body roll that triggers aggressive strikes. Designed by professional angler Fred Roumbanis, this bait was built to excel where others struggle—over grass, around cover, and in pressured water. Whether you're targeting bass buried in milfoil, hydrilla, docks, laydowns, or standing timber, the ROUMBA creates a unique presence that fish simply can’t ignore. What Makes It Different Natural Waking ActionProduces a smooth, side-to-side wobble across the surface that mimics distressed baitfish. Multi-Species ImitationCan be worked to imitate: Baitfish waking on the surface Crawfish scooting through shallow cover Frogs moving across vegetation Designed for Heavy CoverExcels over submerged grass and through tight structure where traditional hard baits struggle. ROUMBA vs. Rattling ROUMBA ROUMBA (Silent) Best for clear water or pressured fish More subtle, natural presentation Ideal during low tide or when visibility is high Rattling ROUMBA Built-in rattle to call fish from a distance Perfect for dirty/stained water Excels in low visibility or high water conditions Pro Tip from Fred Roumbanis:Keep both tied on. As water clarity changes—especially in tidal systems—switch between silent and rattling to stay dialed in. Why It Belongs in Your Rotation This isn’t just another wake bait. The ROUMBA fills a unique gap between topwater and shallow crankbaits—giving you a versatile, high-percentage option when fish are buried in cover but still willing to feed up.
