About this piece
The Smith Gunship F 36mm is a small floating minnow plug designed for saltwater light game, targeting species like mebaru (rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel). Its body shape imitates a juvenile squid, with an offset lip and large eyes for a realistic baitfish profile. The internal high-density tungsten weight provides exceptional casting distance and a low center of gravity for stable, responsive action.
Key features
- High-density tungsten internal weight for superior casting distance
- Floating type with shallow surface diving range
- Offset lip design mimics squid tentacles for realistic appearance
- Low center of gravity enhances recovery and action repeatability
- High-response movement from ultra-slow to high-speed retrieves
Best for
- Saltwater light game fishing for mebaru (rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel)
- Shallow surface and drift fishing techniques
- Clear water conditions where realistic baitfish imitations are effective
