About this piece
The Smith Gunship F 36mm is a small floating minnow plug developed for saltwater light game fishing, primarily targeting mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel). Its body shape is inspired by juvenile squid, with an offset lip that compresses the tentacle section, while large, realistic eyes enhance the baitfish appearance. A high-density tungsten internal weight provides excellent casting distance and a low-center-of-gravity design for stable, responsive action at any retrieve speed.
Key features
- High-density tungsten internal weight for superior castability
- Floating type with shallow running depth, ideal for surface-layer fishing
- Realistic juvenile squid body design with offset lip and oversized eyes

Best for
- Saltwater light game fishing for mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel)
- Shallow, surface-layer presentations in coastal areas and harbors
