Specifications
About this lure
The GachiPen Swimmer 180 is a versatile diving pencil that combines long casting performance with an easy-to-work action. At 180mm and 60g, it’s built for big-game surface fishing, whether you’re chasing kingfish off the rocks, tuna offshore, or trevally inshore.
- Length / Weight: 180mm / 60g
- Long-distance casting – slim ABS body with tail-weighted balance keeps a stable horizontal flight.
- Easy to use – designed so even beginners can achieve a consistent diving pencil action.
-
Dual retrieve styles:
- Strong pulls – produces a fast rolling action, intense flashing, and heavy vibration that draws fish from distance.
- Gentle pulls – creates a smooth roll with an irregular S-curve, ideal when fish are shy or feeding delicately.
- Stable in rough water – maintains its action with minimal skipping, even in choppy seas.
- Through-wire construction – strength to handle powerful strikes from trophy predators.
The GachiPen Swimmer 180 adapts instantly to changing conditions. Fish it aggressively when you need to grab attention in rough water, or work it gently when predators are following but not committing. Its rolling flash, erratic S-curve motion, and rattling head weight mimic a fleeing baitfish, making it highly effective across a wide range of scenarios.
