About this piece
A natural-looking slim minnow plug from Daiwa's Gekkabijin series, designed to imitate a dried young sardine (shirasu). The body incorporates a 0.2 g nail sinker and comes with treble hooks and a spare body, targeting finicky inshore fish like mebaru.
Key features
- Soft-plastic-like material combined with a hard body design for a natural feel
- Recommended action: slow retrieve (1 turn/sec, 4 turns then 3-second pause)
- On straight retrieve, the tail wiggles subtly to mimic a weak baitfish
- When paused, the body quivers while falling to trigger strikes from mebaru
- Includes 2 hook-equipped bodies and 1 spare body
Best for
- Light inshore saltwater fishing for mebaru (black rockfish) and similar species
- Slow presentations in clear, calm water where natural baitfish imitations excel
