About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Shirasu J 55S is a jointed sinking pencil designed for the shirasu (whitebait) and katakuchi (anchovy) baitfish patterns. Its three-joint body creates a lifelike, smooth action that entices pressured mebaru (rockfish) to bite. The ultra-slim body features a unique weight chamber with a low center of gravity for stable action, and a tiny lip on the lower jaw provides moderate winding resistance and prevents surface breakout during fast retrieves.
