About this piece
Designed by professional angler Masaya Onuma, the Daiwa Morethan Middle Upper is a 4.2-inch straight minnow soft lure built for seabass. Its super-soft material collapses easily on inhalation, driving solid hooksets even with pressured fish. The flat-back delta body swims with a subtle tail vibration on a steady retrieve, while flipping the rigging orientation turns it into a darting bait for aggressive twitching.
