About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Shirasu J 55S is a jointed sinking pencil designed for the shirasu (whitebait) and anchovy baitfish patterns. Its three-joint body delivers a smooth, lifelike action that entices pressured mebaru (rockfish) to bite. The unique weight chamber under the belly maintains a clear silhouette while lowering the center of gravity for stable action in an ultra-slim body, and the small lip on the lower jaw provides moderate winding resistance and prevents surface breakout during fast retrieves.
