Information

The material

Falls on a straight vertical line with almost no swing, letting the head sink dead true under a float or straight down the rod tip. The gold, open-gape Mustad hook rides point up through the fall, tuned to convert light, subtle taps into a hook-up.

When to fish it

Suited to ajing and harbour mebaru sessions where fish sit tight to structure or lights and bite gently. Use it in calm harbours, breakwalls and marinas after dark, when a direct, controlled fall is needed to draw a reaction from cautious fish.

How to rig it

Cast up-current or along structure and let the head sink on slack to semi-slack line, watching the line for the take. A short lift-and-fall or slow straight retrieve keeps the fall vertical and telegraphs light bites through the rod tip.

What it pairs with

Pairs with a 5-7ft L to UL ajing rod, a 1000-2000 size spinning reel, PE0.2-0.4 or 2-4lb line, and a short 4-6lb fluorocarbon leader.
