Daiwa Morethan Monster Slider Laser Impact 135F-LI LI Chart Head Inakko

A floating big-pencil seabass lure built around Laser Impact technology — a 3D multi-reflection structure that scatters high-brightness reflected light in multiple directions to mimic live baitfish. A V-hull belly design gives a quick, wide dog-walk action with a super-rattle sound.

A versatile, medium-class pencil suited to open water and surface-feeding seabass, from harbour mouths and river mouths to open beaches where a big, visible surface bait can call fish from a distance, especially in low light. It fits a normal inshore session worked from a boat, breakwall or beach, moving between likely holding water as the tide and light change through the session.

Work it with a walk-the-dog cadence — steady rod-tip sweeps to keep the wide side-to-side slide going — pausing over likely holding water to let the rattle and flash do the work before resuming. Adjust retrieve speed and pause length to the mood of the fish on the day, since a plug that isn't drawing follows or strikes on one cadence often will on another.

Pair with a 9-10ft seabass spinning rod rated for big-pencil casting, a 3000-4000 reel, PE 1-1.5 and a 20-25lb fluorocarbon leader to control the lure's width of action. Set the drag firm enough to control a fish in current or around structure, and check hook points regularly given the abrasive marks this style of plug is often fished around.
