About this piece
The Daiwa Morethan Cross Counter 97F is a lip-less minnow designed for shallow water, specifically targeting inactive fish in low-water temperatures. Supervised by Masaya Onuma, it excels with a dead-slow retrieve, producing a weak, staggering action that mimics a dying baitfish. Its slim body and high-response design make it a finesse tool for pressured areas.
