Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S Glow Shirasu

The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S is a long-cast sinking pencil designed for targeting offshore rockfish (mebaru). Its compact 50mm body is dense with weight for maximum casting distance, and the slim tail reduces air resistance for stable flight. With a 2-way retrieve action and a glowing shirasu color, it excels in low-light conditions.

Key features

• Max-distance casting: Weight-packed body and slim tail cut air drag for long, accurate throws.
• Flat-side body: Pushes water on subtle movements and produces intense flash to draw strikes.
• Dual retrieve action: Slow = tight roll with flash; Fast = wide wobbling roll to cover water.
• Sinker fall: Body wobbles as it sinks, triggering bites on the drop.
• Bottom-weight design: Four weights on the lower side stabilize the action without over-rolling.
• Premium hooks: Equipped with sharp #12 Sacsas hooks.

Best for

• Night-time rockfish (mebaru) over deep structure, jetties, and offshore reefs.
• Light saltwater game for horse mackerel and other predators that hunt small baitfish.
• Long-distance casting when fish are spooky or holding far from shore.
• Slow to medium retrieves with pauses to let it flutter down.
