About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Sail Upper 165F is a floating swim bait built with a soft elastomer body, delivering a natural landing sound and realistic movement that triggers strikes from wary sea bass. Purpose-designed for the falling ayu pattern, this lure excels when fished just below the surface with a subtle, lifelike presentation that hard baits often cannot match.
Key features
- Soft elastomer material creates a natural splash and silences suspicion in pressured waters.
- Reversed high-response tail maintains a tight pendulum wobble even at dead-slow retrieves.
- Floating design positions the lure right under the surface, ideal for drift fishing.
- Front hook swivel connection absorbs head shakes and gill flaring to prevent escape.
- Equipped out of the box with a #2 hook and #3 split ring, ready for immediate use.
Best for
- Targeting line-shy sea bass in clear, heavily fished areas.
- Fishing the falling ayu pattern around river mouths and estuaries.
- Slow, finesse retrieves when fish ignore conventional hard lures.
- Anglers wanting a quiet, natural presentation in shallow, calm conditions.
