About this piece
The Smith Bisen is a trout topwater plug modeled after the Japanese cicada Haruzemi. Its 38mm length closely matches the natural size of this terrestrial insect, making it a precise match-the-bait choice for native char, yamame, and stocked trout in both natural lakes and managed fishing areas.
Key features
- Realistic 38mm floating body with a cicada silhouette
- Movable wing on the back opens on contact with water for lifelike appearance
- Wing design reduces air resistance during casting for improved distance
- Fitted with a size #12 Siracusa minnow hook
Best for
- Trout fishing in natural lakes during cicada hatches
- Early morning and evening sessions (maguro-me) in managed trout ponds
- Targeting char (iwana) and yamame in native stream environments
