About this piece
Smith's Mebapen Mebaru is a dedicated rockfish (mebaru) topwater plug born from the demands of anglers in the Seto Inland Sea, the birthplace of mebaru topwater game. This floating lure combines a natural horizontal floating posture with a body shaped to match small squid, featuring an emepera tail and big eyes for both appeal and function.
Key features
- Horizontal floating posture for natural drift and increased bites
- Body shape matched to small squid, with emepera tail and big eyes
- Exceptional casting distance for its size, with stable flight
- Straight retrieve produces an S-wobble with surface wake; twitching creates sharp slides
- Rod action control allows tight to loose movement; shaking creates a quivering effect
Best for
- Mebaru (black rockfish) fishing in saltwater
- Night and day topwater fishing
- Seto Inland Sea and other coastal waters
