If you want to shoot at nabura, this is the one! A super lure that can be cast as far as 100 meters! [SHIMANO OCEA Pencil Solid 100HS]

Light concept makes skipjack fishing fun!

The OCEA Pencil Solid 100HS, released by Shimano, is a heavy sinking pencil with a weight of 54 g and a size of 100 mm, designed to catch bonito, yellowfin tuna, and other bluefish that prey on small baitfish. However, it was not designed to be used in situations where the size of the bait is 100 mm. The solid body makes it infinitely more transparent, and the clear color makes it a good match for microbait situations. Furthermore, the solid body allows the use of Shimano’s Light Concept tackle to achieve greater casting distance than one would imagine.
The details of the Light Concept are explained in the video below.

Available in a total of 8 colors. Equipped with a scale boost that takes advantage of the solid body. All of the colors are necessary for the situation, born from actual fishing.

The action can be varied on the surface of the water and in the water.

The basic method of using the OCEA Pencil Solid 100HS is to lightly jerk the rod while holding it upright and skipping to make the lure jump on the surface of the water. This produces the effect of small fish running away from the lure. It is also effective to count down from landing on the water, let the lure fall, and then jerk the lure for a long period of time.

The concept behind the lure’s design is to keep the lure’s head from rising too high during action. Therefore, the center of gravity of the built-in weight is placed forward. Also, a tail fin is mounted behind the body as an important part of the lure. This allows the lure to move irregularly when skipping, but keeps it from spinning when the lure is in the water.

In addition, in order to accommodate large fish, a 1.2mm-diameter through-wire is used. The hook eye has two locations, but the lure is designed to act well with a single tail hook depending on the situation.

Bonito-loving captain Seiichiro Tashiro of Sunrise also participated in the development of this product.

The OCEA Pencil Solid 100HS is a lure for skipjack for me,” said Captain Seiichiro Tashiro of Sunrise. Although Sunrise has a strong impression of a big game boat, Captain Tashiro is an angler who is well versed in the fun of light game fishing, which is like solving a riddle and finding the right answer in a tough situation.
The OCEA Pencil Solid 100HS is a lure that can break through and clear up such a severe situation. The O’Shea Pencil Solid 100HS is a solid lure that flies even though it is small and has a clear base color. and the clear base coloring is something that no other lure can replace.

The standard hook is large enough to handle large bonito and small yellowfin tuna. However, in severe conditions, it is effective to reduce the size of the front hook by one rank or to use only one rear hook.

Captain Tashiro says he sometimes uses a single tail hook and matches it with a microbait as big as the hook shank to get it to bite. The clear base color of the lure allows him to do this.
