About this piece
The Smith Mebapen Mebaru is a dedicated topwater plug for rockfish (mebaru) fishing, designed with a critical horizontal floating posture for natural drift presentations. Its compact body, inspired by small squid and baitfish, features a tail fin and big eye that enhance both appearance and action.
Key features
- Horizontal floating posture ensures natural presentation in currents and wind.
- Tail fin acts as a horizontal stabilizer for sharp sliding action on twitches.
- Exceptional casting distance and stable flight for its 3g weight.
- S-curve wobbling action on steady retrieve, with tight-to-loose range via rod work.
- Suitable for both night and day topwater plugging.
Best for
- Targeting mebaru (rockfish) in coastal and tidal waters.
- Night and daytime topwater plugging, especially in Seto Inland Sea conditions.
- Natural drift, slow steady retrieve, and twitch-shake presentations.
