About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze SS is a long-casting sinking pencil designed by Rintaro Iwasaki for targeting large offshore rockfish (mebaru). Its 50mm body is packed with weight to the limit without compromising action, and the streamlined shape—smooth contours and a tapered tail—maximizes casting distance to reach spots previously inaccessible with similar-sized lures.
Key features
- Sinking pencil with maximum weight loading for superior casting performance
- 2WAY action: high-pitch roll with body flashing at slow retrieve, wobbling roll at faster speeds
- Sinking fall with slight body wobble (shimmy fall) to trigger strikes
- Flat-sided body pushes water effectively even with subtle action
- Equipped with factory Saksas hooks size #12
- Smooth, aerodynamic body reduces air resistance for longer casts
Best for
- Targeting large mebaru and other coastal rockfish
- Fishing offshore reefs, points, and deep structure
- Applications requiring extreme casting distance with a compact lure
