About this piece
The Fish Labo Riverch 2.6 inch is a soft plastic grub-style bait designed for inshore species like mebaru (rockfish) and aji (jack mackerel). Its deeply ribbed body creates subtle tail quivers on a straight retrieve and undulating action when twitched, while the slow fall rate due to the deep ribs makes it effective for finesse presentations.
Key features
- Dual-hardness hand-made construction: firmer head for better hook hold, softer body and tail for natural action
- Deep, continuous ribs that catch and move water, transmitting feel back to the rod tip
- Yields a fluttering, slow fall when allowed to sink freely
- Recommended for use with jigheads (0.4–1.5g), Carolina rig, split shot rig, or float rig
Best for
- Rockfish (mebaru), jack mackerel (aji), and other inshore saltwater species
- Slow rolling, swimming, and fall presentations in moderate current
- Light line finesse fishing with small jigheads or split shot rigs
