MEBAPEN
SOLID - Acrylic solid plug that mimics baby squid
Mebapen Solid is a downsized
Mebapen with solid body (35mm), which was developed in response
to a strong request by local anglers in Setouchi Area. Unlike
ABS molded plugs, it is made of Acrylic material of which
refractive effect and transparency reproduce the larva of baby
squid the instant it is cast in the water.
●
The situations for use
Mebapen series was created
by Mebaru freaks’ demand. Mebapen•Mebaru
(floating) is suitable for use in early spring (from March) when
baby squids float on the water surface, while Mebapen•Hotaru
(sinking), which can make a long cast throughout the season,
enables you to search wide areas and attack the areas around
weeds easily. However,
it is very difficult to catch in January and February when there
are few bait fish like young sardine, etc. During this period,
mysid (shrimp) and thumb nail sized larva of baby squid are
considered as main baits.
Generally, the fish feeding
on baby squid swarms the water surface in early spring when baby
squid grows to the size of Mebapen•Mebaru.
The baby squid at larva stage, however, is still very small,
unnoticeable, and is floating on the water like mysid (shrimp).
Under the situations, an
even smaller, slow sinking, downsized Mebapen was required,
which can attack the areas just below the water surface to the
bottom. The larva of
baby squid is extremely clear. In
developing such a model, it was very important to reproduce the
clearness of the larva of baby squid.
This led us to use acrylic solid material and the model
we completed Is Mebapen Solid.

Features
Super realistic body shape,
which was downsized based on Mebapen.
Acrylic solid material produces excellent transparency
and unique refraction effect, reproducing the larva of baby
squid. To make the
best use of transparency of the full body, we omitted even the
name print.
The
exceptionally stable casting distance unimaginable from the
35mm, 2.1g body is due to specific gravity balance which is
produced by a solid body without built-in weight, and the body
shape. The retrieve
after splashdown makes the lure swimming with wide wobbling.
Falling action is horizontal. For
best results, it is recommended to mix “stop” actions, like
stop & go at the time of retrieving and lift & fall by
rod manipulation. Whether
to use free fall or tension fall at the time of falling can make
different lure actions
