Information

The swimming action

A cicada-pattern plug that casts a strong wobbling action on stop-and-go, twitching or a straight steady retrieve; the Sinking tune carries that action across a deeper range of the water column than the Floating version.

When to throw it

A long-standing favourite on managed trout waters, suited to both technical presentations for wary fish and a searching retrieve to cover deeper water and locate active fish.

How to work it

Let it settle to the target depth before starting the retrieve; effective on stop-and-go, twitch-pause or a straight steady retrieve.

The setup it likes

Suited to an ultralight to light trout rod, a 1000-1500 reel, 2-3 lb (PE0.2-0.4) main line and a 3-4 lb fluorocarbon leader.

Before you buy

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We give you the cheapest available price, as we get it directly from the distributors. You pay what an angler in Japan pays, plus postage.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and handed to Japan Post within 3 to 8 business days. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

Australia and the US: 7 to 14 business days on Standard or Economy, 2 to 7 on Express EMS. Europe and the UK: 10 to 20 business days, 3 to 7 on EMS. Every option is priced at checkout before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

Australia: no duty on orders under A$1,000 and GST is already in the price. US: orders under US$800 clear duty-free. EU and UK: VAT is collected at checkout so nothing is due on delivery for standard orders.

Is it genuine stock?

Yes. Every item is genuine, sourced only through authorised distributors — never grey imports or marketplace resellers.
