About this piece
The Smith Mebapen SP is a suspending pencil bait designed to hover just below the water surface. At 45mm and 3.2g, this compact lure features a high-density tungsten internal weight system for quick submersion and stable horizontal suspension after the cast.

- Suspending type that hovers near the surface, unlike the floating Mebapen model
- High-density tungsten internal weight for fast water penetration and stable suspension
- Maintains a horizontal posture while suspending underwater
- Compact 45mm length ideal for finicky coastal fish
Best for
- Saltwater light game targeting mebaru (rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel)
- Slow presentations near structure and in shallow bays
- Ultra-light spinning tackle with thin fluorocarbon or PE line
- Calm conditions where a subtle, hovering action triggers reluctant feeders
