Shoreline Shiner Z LH (LUNKER HUNTER) 150F-HD

Daiwa's shoreline shiner minnow is without doubt one of the best selling minnows that has been around for many years. I read somewhere that millions were sold during the last decade and that continues to be a very demanded lure that with many followers all over the world.
Now I see this new version on the Daiwa official website and I am already eager to put my hands on.
The new model is an "Heady Duty" version of the Shiner Z that will target the famous Hira Suzuki seabass or other types of pelagic that scout the shore.
What is so special about the HD? Well basically is a beefed up version with 1.2mm thru wire , strong ST-56 hooks, 150mm of length for an hefty 35.5g weight.
The product page states (according to my trusty Google Translate) that thanks to the  HGS system it has a casting range of 66 meters.
This is a very nice looking and robust minnow that can be used on all those situations where we need some distance and security in case we chase some big seabass or pelagic.

Tacklehouse Web Catalog

Tacklehouse is one of those Japanese firms that develop amazing lures. I consider their lures quite effective and also very nice looking. As usual with Japanese companies, TH has a wide range of lures that range from LRF minnows to heavy ones that target big tunas.
I am sharing the link to their 2014-15 catalog. It is in Japanese but still worth giving it a look. Please enjoy:
