Information

The material

An acute nose produces a crisp dart on the drop while a concave notch cut into the head catches flow, giving the soft-bait tail extra kick as it falls. The head holds a stable horizontal posture through the fall, even on slack line.

When to fish it

Built for light game sessions after mebaru and aji plus other light-tackle species, in harbours, breakwalls and around rock structure, where a natural horizontal fall is needed to draw strikes from fish holding tight to cover.

How to rig it

Rig with a small soft-plastic tail and work it on a straight fall, lift-and-fall or slow twitch retrieve, letting the head's horizontal posture and dart action do the work rather than fast cranking.

What it pairs with

Suits a 6-7ft L to UL light game rod, a 1000-2500 size spinning reel, PE0.3-0.6 or 3-5lb line, and a 4-6lb fluorocarbon leader.
