About this piece
The Shimano Exsence Konoshiro Pencil 185F is a big surface pencil designed specifically for konoshiro patterns, combining excellent flight stability and long casting distance with a floating stance. Its cup-slit face creates a loud splash and quick dart action while throwing water, leaving a bubble trail that blurs the silhouette and makes it harder for fish to inspect. A lightweight internal rattle rings out even on subtle wave motion, adding lifelike sound to the bait both during action and when paused.
