Description

Bassday Mononofu 50S is a native-trout sinking minnow from Bassday's Mononofu series, built for mountain-stream, upper-reaches, and mid-stream native-trout fishing.

The Mononofu series was designed around what Bassday calls "sculptural beauty" — a hand-crafted-feeling lure worthy of being remembered alongside a beautiful native trout, built with the honesty and courage suggested by its name, "mononofu" (warrior).

50mm is the standard size for this style of stream lure and the first item to cast. Although it is a heavy-sinking design, its 4.6g weight stays easy to cast with any rod. It falls close to horizontal, showing itself off right after the cast and starting to swim very quickly, drawing fish in immediately after a pinpoint cast. A slightly larger lip helps it start swimming easily, keeps movement short on light twitches, and lets it fall slowly rather than diving immediately when paused, while the action stays natural and easy to use on downstream presentations.

Size: 50mm. Weight: 4.6g. Hook: #12. Ring: #1.

Information

The swimming action

The Mononofu 50S falls close to horizontal on the cast and kicks into a fast, tight wobble almost at once. A slightly larger lip helps it start swimming easily and lets it fall slowly rather than diving away when the retrieve is eased, keeping it in the strike zone through short pauses.

When to throw it

Built for mountain-stream, upper-reaches and mid-stream native-trout fishing, suiting yamame and amago through the open season on both clear low water and coloured flow after rain. Its 50mm profile is the standard first size to try when reading an unfamiliar beat.

How to work it

Cast upstream or across and let the current bring the action to life, using short twitches to sharpen the start-up wobble. On downstream presentations a steady swim with occasional pauses lets it fall slowly through slower glides rather than diving out of the zone.

The setup it likes

A light native-trout rod rated to around 2-4g lure weight, matched with a small 1000-2000 spinning reel, 2-3lb nylon or fluorocarbon main line and a short, similar-class leader, gives enough feel and shock absorption for a 4.6g lure on light tippet.
