About this piece
The Daiwa Trout Plug Masu-no-Imomushi is an entry-level crankbait designed for simplicity and effectiveness for trout anglers of all skill levels. Its unique action allows the angler to control depth purely by reel speed: reeling faster makes the lure dive, a steady retrieve maintains depth, and stopping the retrieve lets it float back up.
Key features
- Reel-speed controlled diving, retrieve hold, and pause float action.
- Vertical rear eye with double split rings for improved hook freedom and reduced drop-offs.
- SaqSas fluorine-based surface treatment on hooks provides up to 40% better penetration.
- Compact 30mm body, 1.9g weight ideal for light trout tackle.
- Olive color pattern for natural imitative presentation.
Best for
- Trout fishing in streams, rivers, and still waters.
- Beginners learning crankbait retrieve control.
- Anglers targeting fish holding at specific depths.
