About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S is a slim sinking pencil designed for offshore trophy mebaru (rockfish) fishing. Its 50mm body is packed with weight to maximize castability while maintaining a clean, low-drag profile for long-range presentations.
Key features
- 2WAY action: high-pitch roll and flash at slow retrieve, wobbling roll at higher speed
- Flat-side body pushes water efficiently even with subtle rod movement
- Rolls and flashes on the fall to trigger bites during the pause
- Ultra-long-cast design reaches spots inaccessible with standard 50mm lures
Best for
- Offshore mebaru (rockfish) fishing
- Open-water or deep-bank target casts
- Slow to medium retrieves that activate the dual-action response
