About this piece
The Halcyon System Raven Deep SL-S is a 37mm slow-sinking minnow plug designed specifically for targeting mebaru (black rockfish) using vertical jerk and fall presentations. This specialized model combines a slow-sinking version for a deliberate, teasing approach and a new sinking version that descends tail-first in free fall, reaching deeper zones quickly before triggering bites with a wobbling fall after the jerk.
Key features
- 37mm length with 2.0g weight for precise casting and control
- Slow-sinking (SL-S) and sinking models in one design
- Deep lip provides water resistance and transmits lure action to the rod
- Free-fall tail-first descent reaches deep water rapidly
- Tension fall after jerk wobbles the body to provoke strikes
Best for
- Vertical jerk-and-fall fishing for mebaru (black rockfish)
- Pressured or heavily fished areas where horizontal lure action is ineffective
- Windy conditions where standard lures tend to lift from the target zone
- Deep water or strong current scenarios requiring quick depth penetration
