About this piece
The Smith Mebapen Mebaru is a topwater plug purpose-built for mebaru (rockfish) angling, born from the demands of Seto Inland Sea anglers who pioneered daytime topwater fishing for this species. Its horizontal floating posture ensures a natural drift that feels lifeless to the fish, increasing bite counts. The body is designed to match small squid, with an empennage and big-eye setup that is both appealing and functional, while delivering exceptional casting distance for its light weight.
