About this piece
This is a compact, jointed minnow-style plug from Daiwa's Masunokoeda Jr. series, designed to mimic the natural movement of an earthworm. At 43mm and 1.2g, it is ideal for pressured or small trout, offering a soft, worm-like action with a unique lip-on-top swimming posture.
Key features
- 4-joint construction creates an ultra-soft, sinuous worm-like action.
- Surface-oriented lip produces rolling and wobbling motion.
- Equipped with a PRESSO SaqSas Short Multi #10 hook for superior penetration.
- Double split rings reduce the chance of lost fish.
- Incomparable 40% increase in hooking performance over conventional painted hooks (Daiwa claim).
Best for
- Trout fishing, especially small or highly pressured trout.
- Slow, steady retrieves that bring the plug to life.
- Clear water conditions where a natural, subtle presentation is key.
