Information

The swimming action

Despite its compact body, a rear tungsten weight gives casting distance that rivals the larger Hibupen 73, while a quick-turn retrieve keeps the side-to-side movement tight and reduces missed strikes.

When to throw it

Built with black porgy (kurodai) and yellowfin seabream (kibire) as primary targets, and also effective on seabass in topwater games.

How to work it

Between twitches it settles into a 45-degree floating posture that's easy for fish to eat; a stainless plate at the mouth slaps the surface on each twitch to call fish from a distance.

The setup it likes

Suits a 7'-8' L-ML topwater spinning rod with a 2000-2500 reel, 6-10lb braid and a 12-16lb fluorocarbon leader.
