About this piece
Halcyon System Raven Deep 37mm is a slow-sinking hard plug specifically designed for mebaru (black rockfish) plugging, combining vertical jerks and controlled falls to trigger strikes. Its compact 37mm body and 2.0g weight make it ideal for pressured fish that have seen too many horizontally retrieved lures. The model features a deep lip that provides excellent water resistance and transmits the lure's action clearly to the rod, even in windy conditions.
Key features
- Slow-sinking design allows the lure to hover and wobble during the fall
- Deep lip cups provide stable tracking and quick depth attainment on free fall
- 37mm body and 2.0g weight for precise casting and subtle presentation
- Falls tail-first on free fall and wobbles on tension fall to trigger reaction bites
- Resists being pushed upward by wind-blown line, maintaining depth
Best for
- Pressure-sensitive mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (Japanese horse mackerel) in major fishing spots
- Plugging techniques using vertical jerks and falls
- Windy conditions where line control is challenging
- Clear water and lightly pressured environments where subtle action is key
