About this piece
The Daiwa Shoreline Shiner-Z Vertis 80S is the smallest model in the acclaimed SLSZ series, a downsized sinking minnow based on the Vertis 97S. It delivers class-leading casting distance while enabling slow-retrieve presentations around the 1-meter diving range, making it ideal for targeting micro baitfish in upper bay areas.
Key features
- Tungsten weight wire oscillates to the rear during casting for maximum distance, recording up to 59m in internal tests.
- HGS (Hold Gravity System) locks the main weight forward after landing to maintain stable swimming posture.
- Wide sinking-specific lip design enables slow retrieves at 0.3-0.8 m depth without compromising castability.
- Equipped with #6 treble hooks standard, ready for bay and river game.
- Compact 80mm body and 11.8g weight balance power and finesse.
Best for
- Targeting striped bass and seabass in bays, harbors, and river mouths.
- Matching micro forage like juvenile ayu, shrimp, and baitfish.
- Slow retrieves and drift fishing in current where stable swim is critical.
- Anglers needing a compact sinking minnow with true long-range capability.
