About this piece
The Smith Gunship F is a small minnow plug designed for saltwater light-game, primarily targeting mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (jack mackerel). Its fat-bodied design mimics juvenile squid, with an offset lip shaping the tentacle profile and large realistic eyes. The high-density tungsten internal weight provides exceptional casting distance and a low-center-of-gravity design for stable, responsive action across a wide speed range.
Key features
- Floating type with suppressed diving depth for surface-layer fishing
- High-density tungsten internal weight for superior castability
- Low-center-of-gravity fixed weight for repeatable, high-response action
- Offset lip shapes the squid-like body profile
Best for
- Saltwater light-game for mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (jack mackerel)
- Slow to fast retrieves in shallow, surface-layer applications
