About this piece
The Daiwa Gekkabijin Tanago 42 is a small shad-tail swimbait designed specifically for light game rockfish (mebaru) fishing. Its subtle, natural action entices even finicky fish with a micro-vibration on retrieve and a lifelike trembling fall when paused. The included 0.2g nail sinker allows easy weight adjustment for windy conditions or deeper water.
