About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Pin Beam is a specialized soft bait for light saltwater game, designed under the supervision of tester Nagashi Watanabe. Its innovative body core uses a hard material with a soft outer layer, combining hook-holding rigidity with a supple, ultra-long tail that undulates seductively in even the lightest current. Despite its compact size, the slim profile triggers bites from finicky fish, while the tail bends easily to improve hook-up rates.
Key features
- Dual-density construction: hard core for secure hook hold, soft outer for lifelike action
- Ultra-long, slender tail that flares with subtle motion or shaking
- Integrated cup between body and tail creates resistance, aiding feel on slack line
- Sized at 2.6 inches, with ten pieces per pack
Best for
- Light saltwater species such as Japanese horse mackerel (aji) and rockfish (mebaru)
- Low-activity fish where a subtle, shirasu-like swimming action is needed
- Slow rolling and shake-and-stop retrieves in clear, pressured waters
