About this piece
Daiwa's Gekkabijin Shirasu J 55S is a 3-joint sinking pencil engineered for delicate shirasu and katakuchi patterns that trigger finicky mebaru. Its multi-jointed body delivers an irresistible lifelike action, while the innovative belly weight room keeps a natural clear profile and low center of gravity for stable swimming. A subtle lower lip adds just enough resistance for control and prevents blowing out on fast retrieves.
