About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Pin Beam is a light saltwater lure designed for discerning target species like horse mackerel (aji) and rockfish (mebaru). Its unique construction features a hard core body that resists slipping on the hook and a supple, extra-long tail that undulates seductively in even the slightest current.
Key features
- Hard core body with soft outer elastomer tail for hook-holding stability and lifelike action
- Extra-long tail accounts for over half the body length and composes most of the silhouette
- Cup between body and tail creates subtle resistance to compensate for slim-worm dead feel
- Straight retrieve yields a subdued minnow-like swim; shaking produces a seductive, high-action flutter
- Developed under the supervision of tester Nagashige Watanabe
Best for
- Light saltwater game fishing for aji and mebaru
- Low-activity or finicky fish that need a tiny, subtle bait
- Finesse presentations requiring small size and natural action
