About this lure

A high-speed sinking minnow designed for long-range casting and powerful retrieves with heavy gear.

At 159mm and 56g (67g rigged), the Shibuki 159MS is built to punch into the wind and reach distant targets—perfect for shore-based or offshore fishing when predators are chasing fast-moving bait. Its conventional lip design delivers a stable, tight action even on fast retrieves with high-gear reels. The added weight and slim body allow it to hold depth and track cleanly in turbulent conditions.

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

Cast the Shibuki 159MS on heavy tackle and retrieve at speed with high-gear reels to trigger strikes from fast-moving predators like kingfish and tuna.

The 56g weight (67g rigged) punches into wind and reaches distant targets, making it ideal for shore-based or offshore work.

Work it with a tight, stable action even on aggressive retrieves-the conventional lip holds depth and tracks cleanly in rough, turbulent conditions. Fish it near the surface where baitfish are active; the fast-sinking design allows quick depth adjustment between casts.
