About this piece
The Halcyon System Raven Deep S is a specialized sinking minnow plug for vertical jigging and fall presentations targeting surface-shy mebaru (rockfish). At 37mm and 2.4g, this deep-running model slices through wind and current to reach the strike zone quickly, using a combination of sharp jerks and controlled tension falls to trigger reaction bites.
Key features
- Sinking type with a deep lip for stable underwater tracking.
- Free-fall design descends tail-first to reach deeper ranges rapidly.
- Tension fall after a jerk wobbles the body to attract mebaru.
- Single tail hook reduces snagging in rocky structure.
Best for
- Light rockfish (mebaru) fishing in coastal and bay areas.
- Windy conditions where wind-drift lifts lighter lures.
- Vertical jigging and slow-fall tactics over reefs and structure.
