About this piece
A floating minnow lure developed through a collaboration between Shimano and Kaiyodo, based on the proven Silent Assassin 129 platform. The Tougoro Iwashi 129F combines realistic scale patterns and irregular flashing with high buoyancy and a specially tuned lip for long, stable casts and slow, enticing action. Ideal for targeting wary sea bass and flathead in surf, rocky coasts, and rough water conditions.
Key features
- JET BOOST weight transfer system for long casts and quick dive start
- Unique concave/convex scale pattern creates complex, irregular flashes
- High-floating design allows slow, subtle presentations and drift in foam
- Reinforced lip base resists breakage when hitting rocks or piers
- Slightly lighter weight and smaller lip than original Silent Assassin 129 for equivalent casting distance
Best for
- Surf and rock shore fishing for sea bass and flathead
- Slow to moderate retrieves with occasional jerks or stops
- Clear or stained water where realistic appearance matters
