About this piece
The Daiwa Overdrive 95S is a heavy sinking pencil bait engineered for extreme casting distance and multi-species versatility. Its 35g low-center-of-gravity weight and aerodynamic shape deliver an average cast of 104.3m, even in crosswinds. Slow retrieves produce a wide tail swing with intense flash, while fast retrieves shift to an irregular rolling action that triggers aggressive strikes from pelagics.
Key features
- Ultra-long cast: 35g fixed weight, aero body, and small head fin for crosswind stability (max 107m, avg 104.3m)
- Slow retrieve: wide tail swing action with 3-section high-flash side design for strong visual and lateral line appeal
- Fast retrieve: tight irregular rolling with occasional darting to provoke pelagic species
- Horizontal fall: maintains a horizontal posture on the drop, maximizing bite opportunities during descent
- Through-wire construction: 1.2mm wire for durability against large, hard-fighting fish
- UV-reactive SG Keimura Nama Shirasu color for enhanced visibility in clear water
Best for
- Flounder and flathead in surf zones with a slow, steady retrieve
- Sea bass in estuaries, shorelines, and river mouths
- Pelagic species like yellowtail and bonito when burned at high speed
- Long-distance casting in windy conditions where other lures fall short
