About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Jogen 55S is a sinking minnow designed for light saltwater games such as mebaru (rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel) fishing. Its ring lip catches water flow to create a rising action that generates a surface wake, while just below the surface it produces a wobbling roll. A fixed center of gravity ensures sharp starts on the cast and crisp response to twitches even in choppy water, making it effective from rocky shores, harbors, surf, and boat fishing.
