About this piece
The Halcyon System Hibpen73 is a compact topwater pencil bait designed specifically for black bream (kibire/kurodai) fishing. Its short-slide action minimizes movement distance while effectively drawing strikes, significantly reducing miss-bites and improving hook-up rates.
Key features
- Stainless steel plate under the front eye generates splashing sound and triggers feeding instinct
- Weighs 11 g and measures 73 mm for precise casting and subtle water entry
- Equipped with a single Owner Cultiva STBL-46 #8 hook for reliable hook penetration
- Optimized for short-slide retrieves that keep the bait in the strike zone longer
- Floating type — stays on surface during pauses for visible attack opportunities
Best for
- Black bream (kibire) and sea bream (kurodai) fishing in estuaries and shallow flats
- Anglers new to chinning (black bream lure fishing) thanks to easy-to-use action
- Calm to slightly rippled water conditions where subtle surface presentations excel
