Quick take
Compact sinking pencil bait for bottom-feeding saltwater species in strong current.
This 65 mm sinking pencil bait weighs 15 grams and suits anglers who want a hard body they can cast and work near the surface. Its very small lip grips the water for a fast retrieve, and as it moves forward it rolls on the fall to prompt strikes. It is made for all retrieve ranges, with a #6 hook and a #3 ring.
Best for
- Jigging deep structure in saltwater channels
- Targeting flounder on the bottom
- Casting in strong tide around piers and jetties
Skip if
- You need a topwater presentation
- Shallow water where sinking is too fast
Strengths
- Micro-lip creates rolling fall motion when sinking
- Extreme distance casting due to heavy compact design
- Shimmy fall action triggers bites from inactive fish
Trade-offs
- Compact size may not appeal to larger species
- Requires skilled retrieval to trigger strikes
- Not ideal for topwater or shallow presentations
