About this piece
The Daiwa Shoreline Shiner Z Set Upper 97S-DR is a specialized slow-sinking diving minnow developed under the supervision of Masaya Konuma. Designed to aggressively target mid-depth and near-structure sea bass around breakwaters and rocky shores, it combines exceptional castability with precise range keeping for minimal-effort coverage of the water column.
Key features
- Supervised by Masaya Konuma, featuring a unique automatic slide action that creates natural pauses to trigger strikes.
- Silent Weight Oscillate System plus HGS (Hold Gravity System) deliver long casting distance and stable swimming posture.
- High-pitch tight wobbling roll generates strong flash and vibration even on a simple slow retrieve.
- Long Aero Lip reduces air resistance on the cast then dives to approximately 1.5 meters and holds depth.
- Perfect for elevated breakwater positions, tracing the subsurface all the way to your feet.
- Rigged with two ST-46 #6 treble hooks for solid hooksets on aggressive strikes.
Best for
- Shore-based saltwater game targeting sea bass (suzuki) and other predators
- Fishing breakwaters, rocky shores, and high piers where depth control is critical
- Situations requiring a stealthy presentation with a slow, steady retrieve and intermittent slides
