About this piece
The Smith Gunship SS 36mm is a slow-sinking minnow plug designed for saltwater light game fishing, primarily targeting mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel). Its body shape imitates a juvenile squid, with an offset lip representing the tentacles and intentionally large eyes for a realistic baitfish appearance. A high-density tungsten internal weight provides exceptional casting distance and a low center of gravity for stable, responsive action across retrieve speeds.
