About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze SS 50mm is a sinking pencil designed to target large offshore mebaru (black rockfish). Developed by master angler Iwasaki Rintaro, this long-casting lure packs maximum weight into a streamlined body that minimizes air resistance for exceptional distance.
Key features
- Ultra-low profile body with a narrow tail for maximum casting distance
- 2-way action that changes from high-pitch roll to wobbling roll based on retrieve speed
- Flat-sided body creates strong water displacement even on slow retrieves
- Sink-and-shimmy fall triggers strikes from following fish
- Equipped with two Saksasu #12 hooks
Best for
- Surf or offshore rockfishing from shore
- Targeting larger mebaru in open water
- Fishing areas previously unreachable with standard 50mm lures
- Slow to medium retrieves for subtle action and wide area coverage
