About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Galva 87S is a compact sinking pencil designed for precision surface and sub-surface presentations. Developed with input from “Prince of the Bay” Yuki Ono, it excels in highly pressured urban waterways and river systems. Its unique short lip and fat body deliver slow-pitch action with effortless range keeping just under the surface.
Key features
- Short lip increases water grip for stable depth control without excessive lift, preventing wind drift
- Compact 87mm fat body generates lift at low speeds, allowing slow retrieves while staying at 0-20cm depth
- Slow-pitch action reduces spooking and draws strikes from wary fish in intense fishing areas
- Fixed internal weight provides excellent casting distance despite small size
- ST-46 #3 treble hook and split ring for reliable hook sets
Best for
- Targeting sea bass and bream in urban bay areas and estuaries
- Fishing in windy conditions where standard pencils would slide off course
- Slow, subtle presentations in heavily pressured waters
- Anglers of all skill levels due to its intuitive handling and resistance feedback
