Gary Yamamoto Book Details History Behind Senko, Hula Grub

Two of the most reliable lures used by Michiana anglers are the Yamamoto Senko and the Hula Grub. Both have accounted for thousands of bass across northern Indiana and southern Michigan natural lakes.

Bassmaster Senior Writer Steve Price documents the life and history behind the man who created them, Gary Yamamoto, and how they and other lures were created.

“My Life with Fish” is an easy read yet fascinating book about Yamamoto’s legacy and his phenomenal business, not only as a lure designer, but as a top-notch West Coast bass pro and cattle rancher. We read it and truly enjoyed hearing the backstory to Yamamoto’s success.

The soft cover version is available for $19.95 online at www.baits.com or by calling the Yamamoto office, 800-645-2248. A hard cover will be available in 4-6 weeks for $24.95.
