About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Kibiko 2.0 is a dropper designed specifically for squid (ika) metal game fishing, modeled after the squid's natural prey, the 'kibinago' (silver-stripe round herring). Its meticulously crafted shape helps the squid recognize it as a ready-to-eat bait, even when they are finicky. The 2.0 size features a two-feather configuration to be especially effective on hesitant squid, and a single small hook reduces unnatural feel while the sharp point sets on contact.
