About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S is a sinking pencil lure developed under the supervision of Rintaro Iwasaki for targeting large mebaru (rockfish) in offshore waters. Its 50mm body is packed with weight to maximize casting distance while maintaining a stable flight path, enabling anglers to reach spots previously out of range with similar-sized lures.
Key features
- Four weights positioned on the bottom side for controlled, non-exaggerated action
- Flat side body pushes water effectively even with subtle retrieves and creates strong flashing
- Slim tail shape reduces air resistance for stable flight and increased casting distance
- 2-way action: high-pitch roll with body flashing on slow retrieve, wobbling roll on faster retrieve
- Shimmer fall during pauses triggers bites as the body wobbles downward
Best for
- Targeting large mebaru (rockfish) in offshore and open-water areas
- Light game fishing with spinning tackle
- Long-distance casting to reach distant structure or feeding zones
