About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Switch Hitter DH-97S is a heavy sinking pencil designed for extreme distance casting in windy conditions. Its 'flight distance first' philosophy delivers casts averaging over 90 meters (company tested), rivaling metal jigs and reaching distant boils and tide lines beyond typical minnow range. This lure floats up quickly and is effective for surface-to-shallow-area fishing in large rivers, surf, tidal flats, rocky shores, and river mouths, day or night.
