About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Switch Hitter 85S is a sinking & swimming pencil designed for day and night sea bass fishing, developed under the supervision of Masaya Onuma. Its casting distance rivals that of a metal jig, allowing anglers to reach distant boils that minnows cannot reach. This versatile lure covers shallow areas like rivers, surf, rocky shores, and tidal flats, and works for various baitfish patterns including shad, ayu, and sand lance.
