Information

The swimming action

A rib-form, heavyweight-design sinking minnow built to hold whatever depth it sinks to and keep working that same layer, rather than rising or drifting off it once counted down.

When to throw it

The smallest model in the range, built for ultra-light rock and harbour-wall fishing where deep water often starts right at the angler's feet, with a strong reputation among anglers targeting kamasu (Japanese barracuda) in tight, close-in spots.

How to work it

Count it down to the target depth, then work it with a slow, steady retrieve to hold that layer; small twitches can be added once the depth is confirmed.

The setup it likes

Suits a light to ultralight rock or aji spinning rod, a 1000-2000 reel, 3-4 lb (PE0.3-0.4) main line and a 4-5 lb fluorocarbon leader.

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.
