About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50SS is a sinking pencil designed by Rintaro Iwasaki for targeting large offshore rockfish. Its 50mm body is packed with weight to maximize casting distance without compromising action, allowing anglers to reach spots previously inaccessible with similar-sized lures. The streamlined shape and thin tail reduce air resistance for exceptional long-range performance.
