About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50SS-LI is a slow-sinking pencil bait designed by Rintaro Iwasaki for targeting large offshore mebaru (rockfish). Its compact 50mm body is packed with weight to maximize castability while maintaining a flawless action. The body shape reduces air resistance and the tapered tail enhances long-distance casting, allowing anglers to reach spots previously out of range for lures this size.
