About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Shirasu Beam 2.8 is a super-soft elastomer stick bait designed for light saltwater fishing. Its realistic shirasu (whitebait) profile and subtle action excel in tough conditions when fish are finicky. Infused with sardine oil, it provides strong, long-lasting attraction.
Key features
- Softest material in Gekkabijin history (13° hardness) for lifelike, subtle action
- Minimalist body design without scales or ribs produces a natural weak vibration
- Core infused with concentrated sardine oil for enhanced scent and taste persistence
- Longer 2.8-inch size maintains slim profile with increased surface area for slower fall
- Supple body ensures easy inhalation by finicky target species like horse mackerel
Best for
- Light saltwater game fishing for horse mackerel and similar species
- Tough conditions when fish are pressured and refuse aggressive presentations
- Slow fall presentations with micro jig heads
- Finesse techniques requiring subtle action and natural baitfish imitation
