About this piece
The Shimano Ocea Manma Sardine 90S is a 90mm sinking plug designed for offshore tuna, specifically yellowfin (kihada). It combines long-cast aerodynamics with a realistic sardine silhouette and a carefully tuned fall speed to provoke bites when fish are finicky.
Key features
- 90mm length, 42g weight for excellent casting distance and wind penetration.
- Sinking type with tuned fall speed, designed to trigger bites on the drop.
- Scale Boost hologram with complex-pitch design mimics real sardine scale reflection.
- Direct assist hook system reduces unnatural metallic noise for a more natural presentation.
- Three new color patterns with advanced scale-boost finishes for tough conditions.
Best for
- Targeting yellowfin tuna (kihada) and other offshore pelagics.
- Fishing schools of small baitfish where a realistic sardine profile is needed.
- Conditions requiring long casts into wind or long-distance presentations.
- Slow presentations with random slide and vibration on the fall.
