About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Switch Hitter DH59S is a heavy sinking pencil designed for extreme distance casting in windy conditions. Built on a "flying distance first" philosophy, this lure casts like a jig, reaching distant boils and tidal rips that minnows cannot access. Its quick rise and tail-slide action make it effective day or night in shallow areas like tidal rivers, surf zones, flats, rocky shores, and estuaries.
