DAIWA Gekkabijin Tsuyukaze 50S #Oboro Mikan

A Flower That Blooms at Night Shines Brighter and Brighter

In 2005, DAIWA introduced the first-ever light saltwater game-specific tackle series, "Gekkabijin" (Moonlight Beauty).
Like a flower gracefully blooming under the moonlight, Gekkabijin dances, and anglers thrive in its brilliance.

This tackle has evolved to target familiar species like:

• Aji (horse mackerel): Often requiring an extremely delicate approach.
• Large, cunning rockfish (mebaru): Hiding among rocks or seaweed, waiting cautiously for prey to approach.

As it continues to evolve alongside anglers, Gekkabijin provides unmatched joy and excitement. Its dazzling brilliance will keep illuminating the light saltwater game world.

A long-casting sinking pencil for targeting large offshore rockfish

Under the supervision of Rintaro Iwasaki, this sinking pencil lure is designed for tackling large offshore rockfish.

• Packed Weight: The compact 50mm body is loaded with as much weight as possible without compromising action stability.
• Streamlined Design: By eliminating body irregularities and tapering the tail, the lure achieves exceptional casting distance, enabling anglers to reach previously unreachable spots with a lure of this size.

2-Way Action

The action changes based on retrieve speed:

• Slow Retrieve: Produces high-pitch rolling and body flashing for strong appeal.
• Fast Retrieve: Creates a rolling action combined with wobbling, allowing for broad-range targeting.
• On the Fall: The lure features a "shimmy fall," where the body sways as it descends, ensuring no bite opportunities are missed.

The flat-sided body with a tall profile effectively displaces water even with subtle actions, and the rolling motion’s flashing powerfully attracts rockfish.

Product Features

Meticulous Weight Placement

The "Tsuyukaze" model places four weights on the lower side, spreading the weight to maintain an action that is not overly exaggerated.

Flat-Sided Body

• Flat body sides enhance water displacement even with weaker actions.
• The larger flat surface creates stronger flashes, amplifying its appeal.

Slim Tail Design

• A tapered tail reduces air resistance.
• Contributes to stable flight posture and improved casting distance.
