About this piece
The Longin Plex is a specialized slow-sinking minnow designed for subsurface fishing just below the water surface. At 85mm and 7.5g, it is heavily optimized for the 'bachi-nuke' (clam worm hatch) period, with a tuned weight position that creates a slow sink combined with strong float-up tendency. Its linked body construction reacts to water flow changes, generating complex, erratic movements that can entice pressured sea bass.
Key features
- Slow-sinking design specifically engineered for the surface-layer zone
- Linked body sections create unpredictable side-to-side and twisting action
- Weighs 7.5g with a #10 replacement hook recommended
- Excels in both flowing and still water with dead-slow retrieves and rod tip control
Best for
- Targeting sea bass (Seabass/Japanese seaperch) in high-pressure or finicky conditions
- Effective during clam worm hatches or when fish focus on small bait like shrimp, glass shrimp, and juvenile mullet
- Ideal for calm water and tidal current scenarios requiring subtle presentations
