IMA Koume Rattin Vibration Sinking VIB Bass Lure
IMA Koume Rattin Vibration Sinking VIB Bass Lure
The IMA Koume Rattin Vibration is a sinking VIB style bait built for anglers who want a tight, fast wobble with built-in rattle. The compact body throws off flash on the retrieve and cuts through wind easily thanks to its dense, sinking profile, letting you cover water fast or work it vertically through deeper holes.
This one shines when bass are keyed on shad or herring and holding on ledges, points, or drop-offs. Burn it back for reaction bites or rip and pause it through suspended fish. The rattle chamber adds a sound signature that helps largemouth and smallmouth track it down in stained or off-color water.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target and let the lure sink to your desired depth, counting down to control depth on repeat casts.
- Use a steady, fast retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from active fish suspended near cover.
- Work a rip-and-pause cadence over drop-offs and ledges to imitate a fleeing baitfish and draw strikes on the fall.
- Slow down and lift-drop it vertically when fish are holding tight to structure in deeper water.
Frequently asked
The 70mm or 80mm sizes are a solid all-around choice for largemouth and smallmouth, with 60mm better suited for finesse situations and smaller forage.
Brighter chartreuse or blue-back patterns like this one show up well in stained or off-color water, while more natural, translucent patterns suit clear conditions.
A medium to medium-heavy casting or spinning rod with 10 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or braid handles the fast, vibrating retrieve well and helps with hook sets on treble-hook lures.
VIB style baits like this excel in cooler water during pre-spawn and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish schools and reacting to fast-moving targets.
