About this piece
The Daiwa Flatjunkie Rodem R4 Blade is a jighead-and-worm set designed to tempt flatfish like flounder (hirame) and sand whiting (magochi). It combines a realistic soft bait with an integrated blade system, allowing for a new "Blade Finesse" approach in surf fishing.
Key features
- Blade-equipped worm with one-touch body exchange via guide holes and grooves.
- 2-way action eye positions control diving depth: front eye for shallows, rear eye for deeper water.
- Bottom-touch sensor blade on the jighead improves bottom feel and strike detection.
- Rear hook holder prevents the treble from tangling with the soft body.
- Realistic body shape mimics baitfish to trigger bites even in tough conditions.
Best for
- Shore-based surf fishing for hirame (Japanese flounder) and magochi (sand whiting).
- Slow-rolling and stop-and-go retrieves along sandy bottoms.
- Situations where metal jigs or minnows fail — such as deep, close-to-bottom areas.
- Clear to moderately stained coastal waters with active fish.
