About this piece
The Fish Labo Riverch 1.6 inch is a downsized soft plastic grub designed for targeting species like mebaru and aji. Despite its compact 1.6-inch size, it maintains the same deep rib pattern and silhouette as its larger counterpart, offering enhanced appeal and hook-up rates in a bite-sized package.
Key features

- Deep continuous ribs generate water disturbance and transmit vibration clearly to the angler
- Soft, plush material enhances fish suction and bit inspection confidence
- Versatile rigging: works with jigheads (0.4-1.5g recommended), Carolina rig, split shot rig, and float rig
Best for
- Light saltwater game fishing for mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (Japanese horse mackerel)
- Slow retrieves and fall presentations in shallow to mid-depth waters
- Anglers seeking a high-appeal, easy-to-hook soft bait for finesse techniques
