Description

The Amazon is a 160mm, 43g floating pencil bait, originally built as a one-off private model by Evergreen bass pro Katsutaka Imae for an Amazon fishing trip, before later being recognised for its performance against big bass in Japanese fields and put into production. It has since been reissued in a dedicated saltwater colour line-up for seabass and other saltwater targets that feed on large baitfish such as konoshiro (gizzard shad).

Despite being a lipless pencil bait, its large plastic body and buoyancy setting give it a water push closer to a swimbait, and it responds sharply to rod work for fast dog-walking, wide side-to-side skiing, and heavy surface splashing. A loud knocking sound is produced on every head shake, and the weighted body combined with the lack of a lip gives it long casting distance for reaching wary, big fish from well outside their comfort zone.

Information

The swimming action

Despite having no lip, the Amazon's large buoyant body pushes water like a swimbait rather than a typical thin pencil. Sharp rod snaps produce fast dog-walking and wide side-to-side skiing, with a loud knock on every head shake that carries well in surface chop.

When to throw it

Built for big seabass and other large baitfish feeders around river mouths, breakwaters and open beaches where big fish sit ambushing large prey such as konoshiro. Its long casting distance from the weighted, lipless body suits reaching fish holding well off the bank or boat.

How to work it

Work it with sharp, rhythmic rod sweeps for dog-walking, or slower side-to-side sweeps for a wider ski action, pausing after a series of strikes to let the splash settle. Its weight carries well into wind, so timing the pause to feeding fish matters more than retrieve speed.

The setup it likes

A heavy-power spinning or baitcasting rod rated for large topwater plugs handles the Amazon's casting weight and hook-set requirements. Pair with 40-60lb braid and a 30-50lb fluorocarbon leader to cope with big seabass and structure around river mouths and jetties.
