About this piece
The Daiwa Masu no Imomushi is an entry-level crankbait designed for effortless control by anglers of all skill levels. It dives progressively with faster retrieves and maintains depth at steady speed, then floats up when paused, allowing you to target specific water columns just by adjusting reel speed.
Key features
- SaqSas fluorine coating provides 20-40% better hook penetration than conventional finishes, turning shy bites into solid hooksets.
- Rear eye vertical setting with double ring increases hook freedom and reduces fish loss.
- No rod action required—simply reel to impart a tight tail-wagging diving action.
- Compact 30mm body and 1.9g weight ideal for light line and finicky fish.
Best for
- Trout and char in streams and small rivers.
- Beginners looking for a foolproof crankbait that works with simple winding.
- High-pressure waters where subtle depth control triggers bites.
