Can be used both from the shore and on a boat. I've used it for shore fishing, catching sea bream and rockfish with shore rubber, and for boat fishing with Tai Rubber, as well as various other methods like using octopus baits, inchiku, tenya, and ebi rubber (o^^o) I think it's a must-have in your tackle box (^^) Live flash created by irregular spin. Irregular spin blade... spins/sways/stops. The live flashing produced by the irregular spin stimulates the target's appetite. Sliding type (with line protection pipe)... Because it slides, it's hard to lose the fish, and it's highly sensitive. Also, a line protection pipe is used to reduce damage to the line during sliding.
