Daiwa Tournament Shiner SL-S Lure

The Daiwa Tournament Shiner 170 SL-S is a Slow Sinking lure, equipped with a double, internal weight transfer system. Daiwa has installed in the Tournament Shiner two (one piston made of Tungsten and the other of Brass) Moving Ballast Systems, on a fixed axis, so the lure will make impressively long casts, defying the intensity of the wind, from whatever direction it is blowing.

The Tungsten Ballast Moving technology, on a fixed axis, significantly increases the casting distance, reducing the friction between the ballast and the lure, compared to the moving spheres system. The Tungsten Ballast moves to the right position, inside the body of the lure, depending on the situation the lure is in. When the angler is about to cast the lure, the ballast is at the back, while from the moment the lure is launched from our rod, the ballast will move forward, giving the lure the ideal angle and ensuring its fully realistic movement and action from the very first stroke of the rod.

Another factor that contributes to achieving long distances, in addition to the modern moving ballast system, is the Tournament Shiner's body design.

Daiwa developed the Tournament Shiner SL-S lure to target numerous large and fighting predators. In the Mediterranean it can easily go after Sea Bass, Barracuda during the Autumn period, the fat Winter Bonitos and any other predator might come its way. The Tournament Shiner SL-S features a unique combination of motion, with gentle Wobbling and Rolling action. Its sinking ability enables the angler to search extensively all levels of the water column and provoke predators lurking in the lower end, to instinctively switch to a hunting mode.

At the same time, the design of the lip gives instant motion to the lure, with the slightest command from the rod’s tip.

Made in Japan.
