With the addition of a fin keel and the newly equipped Reverse Mode,
the potential of sinking pencils expands even further!
The bend curve, body height-to-width ratio, cut surfaces, weight placement,
and eye position were all redesigned from scratch to rebuild the perfect balance
between casting distance and swimming action required for sinking pencils.
All of these elements were refined into a simple, streamlined body,
then equipped with a fin keel.
As the tail swings widely left and right during retrieve,
water pressure strikes the head surfaces—including the fin keel—
creating a “Swing Slalom Action”, where the head flows side to side.
From night fishing to day fishing, from slow retrieves to fast retrieves,
this lure now supports a far wider speed range than ever before.
Furthermore, by integrating the precisely calculated Reverse Mode
from the early development stage,
this lure presents two completely different swimming actions and casting characteristics,
all within a single body.
In the standard Direct Mode,
despite its relatively heavy 95mm / 20g setting for a sinking pencil,
the lure still produces an S-shaped meandering motion.
While the water push remains subtle,
the lure creates strong appeal through its Swing Slalom Action.
Remove the tail hook and attach it to the top eye,
then reverse the lure front-to-back.
This transforms it into a sinking pencil with dramatically increased casting distance
and an action completely different from the standard mode.
Its high-pitch, tight swinging action keeps it running steadily in the shallow range.
