About this piece
Fish Labo PenPen Slim 1.6 inch is a slender soft-plastic bait designed for finicky saltwater species like mebaru, aji, and rockfish. Its slightly rough body texture increases water adhesion and creates a frosted-glass effect to concentrate bites, while a rear rib encourages the worm to bend easily for better hook penetration.
Key features
- Rough body surface improves water grip and suction for easy intake
- Rear rib creates a step that promotes bending and helps fish take the bait
- Tail remains nearly motionless on retrieve but quivers weakly on the fall or in strong currents
- Slimmer profile than the original PenPen for weak-biting aji
- Use with jigheads (0.4–1.5 g recommended), Carolina rig, split shot rig, or float rig
Best for
- Mebaru, aji, and rockfish (saltwater shore/surf fishing)
- Light tackle finesse presentations including lift & fall and slow bottom stays
- Areas with gentle current where subtle tail action triggers strikes
