About this piece
The Shimano Exsence Konoshiro Pencil 185F is a big topwater pencil bait engineered for Konoshiro pattern sea bass fishing. Its floating body combines stable flight with exceptional casting distance, while the front cup slit creates an aggressive splash dart action and rattling sound to attract predators from afar. The lure’s design makes it especially effective when fish are keyed in on surface baitfish, as the splashing and bubble trail blur the silhouette and provoke reaction strikes.
