About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S-LI is a laser-impact-equipped sinking pencil designed for offshore targeting of larger rockfish (deka mebaru). Developed under the supervision of Rintaro Iwasaki, this compact 50mm lure maximizes castability by eliminating body irregularities and tapering the tail, enabling anglers to reach distant zones unattainable with standard lures of similar size.
Key features
- Laser Impact finish enhances visibility in low-light conditions, including twilight and around night lights.
- Weight-packed body achieves extreme distance despite its 50mm, 4.8g profile.
- 2-way action: slow retrieve produces a high-pitch roll and flash; fast retrieve adds wobble for wider coverage.
- Fluttering fall (shimmy fall) triggers strikes during the descent.
Best for
- Surf and offshore rockfish (mebaru) fishing.
- Long-distance casting scenarios in open water.
- Low-light conditions and night fishing around artificial lights.
