About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Shirasu Joint 55SS is a jointed sinking pencil designed to imitate shirasu (whitebait) and katakuchi-iwashi (anchovy) patterns for saltwater game. Its 3-joint body creates a lifelike, smooth action that entices wary fish like mebaru (rockfish) even when they're heavily pressured.
Key features
- 3-joint construction for natural, flowing action
- Ultra-slim body with low-center-of-gravity weight distribution
- Tiny lower-jaw lip creates resistance and prevents surface breakout at high speed
- Equipped with Sakusa treble hooks size #14
- Weighs 3.0 g, length 55 mm, sinking type
Best for
- Saltwater shore fishing for mebaru (black rockfish) and other rockfish
- Slow to fast retriever presentations with varied speed changes
- Clear-water conditions where a subtle, transparent profile is effective
