About this piece
Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze is a long-casting sinking pencil designed under the supervision of Rintaro Iwasaki to target deep-holding mebaru (rockfish). The 50mm body is packed with as much weight as possible without breaking the action, and the streamlined shape — no surface irregularities and a tapered tail — maximizes casting distance to reach zones previously inaccessible with same-size lures.
Key features
- Laser Impact model for enhanced visibility in low light
- 2-way action changes with retrieve speed: slow roll with flash, faster wobbling roll
- Swaying fall action (shimmy fall) during the drop to trigger bites
- Tall flat-sided body pushes water even with subtle rod movement
- Weight-loaded design for extreme castability in its size class
Best for
- Night fishing for mebaru and other rockfish
- Fishing around structure, bridges, and pier pilings with constant lights
- Casting long distances to reach fish holding in deeper offshore areas
