Description

The Hibupen is a 73mm, 11g topwater pencil from HAL's Halcyon System range, designed for splash-and-short-slide surface presentations. A stainless plate mounted under the front eye generates a crisp splash sound alongside the action to trigger feeding strikes.

Its short travel distance on each slide is aimed at reducing missed strikes, and it is noted for markedly improving hook-up rates on kibire and kurodai (black bream species). Colour options include #09 M-Silver Shad, #11 C-PKC, #19 GLP-Bora and #29 H-Inakko.

Information

The swimming action

A splash-and-short-slide topwater pencil; a stainless plate mounted under the front eye generates a crisp splash sound alongside the action to trigger feeding strikes.

When to throw it

Noted for markedly improving hook-up rates on kibire and kurodai (black bream species) in topwater games, also effective on seabass in the same shallow water.

How to work it

Short, rhythmic rod twitches keep the travel distance on each slide small, which helps reduce missed strikes compared with a wider walk-the-dog action.

The setup it likes

Suits a 7'6"-8'6" ML topwater spinning rod with a 2500 reel, 8-12lb braid and a 16-20lb fluorocarbon leader.

How long does delivery take?

Your order leaves Japan in 3–8 business days, tracked. Checkout shows the delivery options for your country, with their price and delivery estimate, before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

US import duty is shown as its own line at checkout, before you pay. Your parcel then travels duty-paid, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Yes. Every item is genuine Japanese-market stock, sourced in Japan from an established Japanese wholesaler and shipped straight to you. Never marketplace resellers.
