About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Ame Minnow 48MR-SF is a micro minnow designed for light game fishing targeting species like horse mackerel (aji) and rockfish (mebaru). Its semi-long lip produces a sharp, high-pitch tight wobbling action that excels at medium-fast retrieves, running approximately 1 meter below the surface. The distinctive subtle vibration triggers reflexive strikes from a wide range of light game species.
