Evergreen - Corsair 50
About this lure
The Evergreen Corsair 50 is a micro sinking pencil built to cover water efficiently when fish are feeding on tiny bait or holding well away from structure. Its distinctive fat tail design delivers long, stable casts while maintaining a highly responsive, tight tail swing that continues to draw bites in both aggressive and selective conditions.
- Unique fat tail profile – looks full from above and below, slim from the side for a natural baitfish silhouette
- Rear-weighted balance – excellent casting distance without sacrificing action response
- Stable flight posture – reaches distant pin spots and wide search zones with ease
- Tight tail swing action – creates subtle, natural vibrations that trigger confident bites
- Selective fish specialist – effective when strong vibrations are ignored or avoided
- Light game performer – ideal for aji / jack mackerel, koheru, kahawai and snapper

How to fish the Evergreen - Corsair 50
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The Corsair 50 is a 3.3g micro sinking pencil that casts a long way for its size thanks to the rear-weighted, fat tail balance - useful for reaching distant pin spots and covering wide search zones when fish hold away from structure.
Let it sink to the sub-surface zone (roughly 0-2m) and work it with a steady retrieve so the tight tail swing generates subtle, natural vibrations rather than heavy thump.
When fish are selective and ignore stronger vibrations, slow things right down and use the tight action to draw confident bites; the slim side profile gives a natural baitfish silhouette.
Its light weight suits counting down to the depth where fish are feeding on tiny bait.
Pair it with a light game rod, PE0.2-0.4 braid and a 4lb-8lb fluorocarbon leader.
Target aji (jack mackerel), koheru, kahawai and snapper in light game situations.
