EVERGREEN Combat Pencil JUSTINE

A natural pencil bait that invites with a quick dog walk and hangs reliably.
Amazing explosive power hidden in a compact and slim body. A pencil bait that Toshifumi Kikumoto was inspired by Evergreen USA staff, Justin Carr's request, and its name is Combat Pencil Justine.

Justin's request is to bring it to the bite without being cut off by clear water's good bass. In particular, it must not be repelled by smallmouth bass' fast bites, and it can be reliably hooked. Kikumoto added casting performance and power to attract bass to them.

Its bite-sized body and non-rattle specification produce a natural feeling. Also, by setting the slide width of the action to be short, the quick high-speed dog walk action becomes easier. A quick movement that makes the bait run away becomes a bite trigger and does not give the bass a chance to be cut off.

In addition, in order to overcome the weakness of small pencil baits that "there are many bites but it is easy to fly", we designed the weight amount to be a little large for the body size. In addition, 3 hook specifications in a small body. When stopped, the 3 hooks are well balanced due to the 45 degree floating posture. When moving, the hook is suppressed from swinging sideways to upwards by deliberately suppressing the roll. It prevents the hook from suddenly jumping out of the water surface and increases the hooking rate.

In addition, since it flies straight and without blurring, it reduces pressure by improving both long throw performance and accuracy performance in spite of its small body. In addition, the balance of everything creates an action that entangles the water, generating natural splashes, bubbles, and sounds. It also has the power to attract bass that does not suit its body size.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary small pencil bait, but its potential is overwhelming. In field tests, it continued to fascinate not only American big smallmouth bass, but also tough Japanese bass. Justin boasts that he catches 95% of the bass that bite him, in addition to his amazing ability to explode the surface of the water. Taking advantage of its overwhelming hooking rate, it is also ideal for boil shooting of smallmouth and schooling fish.
