How to work it
The GachiPen 130 excels when predators are locked onto small baitfish.
Cast it on mid-weight tackle and work it with sharp rod twitches to trigger dog-walk slides and skips across the surface, or use steady retrieves to produce a rolling dive with natural wobble.
The 30g weight allows long casts on lighter setups, crucial for reacting quickly to surface activity. Switch between aggressive rod work for skipping presentations and smoother retrieves for a subtle bubble-trail effect-vary your cadence to match the feeding mood of tuna, kingfish, and other pelagics in pressured conditions.
