About this piece
The Daiwa Overdrive 95S is a versatile heavy sinking pencil bait built to target flounder, sea bass, and pelagic fish. Its aerodynamic design and low center of gravity achieve extreme casting distances up to 107 m. Dual action modes adapt seamlessly from a slow, wide tail swing to a fast, irregular rolling retrieve.
Key features
- Aerodynamic shape with small head fin ensures stable, long casts even in crosswinds (max 107 m, avg 104.3 m).
- Heavy 35 g fixed weight and 95 mm body deliver easy distance and precise control.
- Slow retrieve produces a wide tail swing action with high-flashing 3‑piece side panels.
- Fast retrieve shifts to an irregular rolling action with sudden darting to provoke pelagic strikes.
- Horizontal fall posture maximizes bite window from splashdown to bottom contact.
- 1.2 mm through-wire construction for reliable strength against large saltwater predators.
Best for
- Flounder, flathead, sea bass, and pelagics like amberjack.
- Surf, shore, and boat fishing where long casts cover extensive water.
- Slow rolling for bottom feeders or burning fast for reactive pelagic fish.
