About this piece
The Smith Gunship SS is a small, slow-sinking minnow plug developed for saltwater light-game targeting species like mebaru (black rockfish) and aji (horse mackerel). Its compact 36mm body is designed to imitate small squid, featuring a high-density tungsten internal weight for exceptional casting distance and a low-center-of-gravity fixed weight for stable, responsive action across retrieve speeds.
