Description

GACHISLA 230HS is a heavy sinking pencil from BlueBlue built for GT and other large blue-water fish. The slim 230mm, 165g body has low air resistance for long, accurate casts from rock, shore or boat.

Rear weighting brings it down quickly after it lands, sinking roughly 30m in a little over 30 seconds and 40m in a little over 40 seconds. From there it can be worked on a super-fast retrieve or with long and short jerks; the light retrieve resistance reduces fatigue, and a free-moving internal weight ball adds an irregular spike to the slide action to provoke strikes. Recommended ring size #8.

Information

The swimming action

A slim, rear-weighted 230mm body of 165g casts long with low air resistance and sinks quickly to count down to a target depth. The retrieve feel is very light, which allows a super-fast crank, while a free-moving internal weight ball adds an irregular spike to the slide action on jerks, giving the fall an unpredictable edge that provokes strikes.

When to throw it

GT and other large blue-water species from rock, shore or boat, where long casts and a fast count-down to depth are needed over reef edges and current lines. It suits sessions where fish are holding deeper than a surface lure can reach, but still respond to a fast-moving, erratic presentation once it is worked back up.

How to work it

Let it sink to the target depth, then work a super-fast straight retrieve or a mix of long and short jerks to bring out the slide action. The light retrieve feel keeps fatigue down on long casting sessions, and the free-moving weight ball adds an irregular kick through the retrieve that a steady crank alone would not produce.

The setup it likes

A heavy popping or jigging rod suits the casting weight and the sustained fast retrieve this pencil demands. Pair it with a large spinning or lever-drag reel with a strong drag, PE6-8 braid for the casting distance and abrasion resistance offshore work needs, and a 150-200lb leader to handle big fish around reef and rock.
