DAIWA RayBreeze 53F #Deadly Wakasagi

■ This I-shaped minnow by DAIWA was developed through years of testing, primarily on Lake Nojiri.

■ All color variants feature abalone plates, providing a natural flash from the organic material that entices following bass to strike rather than turn away.

■ The best timing is when a gentle breeze blows—ripples create irregular movements that shimmer seductively, captivating the bass.

■ While this type of fishing can often feel unresponsive, a small indentation in the head adds slight retrieval resistance, helping anglers maintain focus during the retrieve.

■ Particularly effective for targeting suspending bass or when matching the wakasagi (Japanese smelt) pattern.
