Mitsuya Hotta, known as the ”Flounder Hunter,” channels his expertise into the Concept S-Pencil Beach Walker ”Axcion” through DUO’s molded technology. With overwhelming casting performance, a natural action that avoids excessive swimming, and outstanding water interaction that preserves its effective range, this lure reliably attracts Flounder from increasingly challenging fishing grounds.

With a 95 mm body built up to a weight of 30 g through a high-density construction and a ”linear layout” lip design, this lure minimizes air resistance and the stress from crosswinds, delivering casting distances that rival those of metal jigs—ideal for both beginners and experts.

The flat-bodied design channels effective action within the range of retrieve speeds, offering three fundamental actions: a ”tail flip” in slow retrieves reminiscent of Shinpen’s style; a subtle, oscillating ”micro-wave action” at medium speeds that makes the body visibly vibrate; and a powerful, minnow-like “flashing strike” at high speeds. When the lure falls, it adopts a horizontal posture with the tail slightly lowered—a maneuver dubbed the ”vibra fall.” This versatility, spanning from steady retrieves to jerks, is designed to trigger strikes from flatfish that shy away from vigorous movements under pressure or when they’re less active during the day.

The lure’s lip design features an integrated ”linear layout” with the face section, ensuring durability against impacts and bottom scraping. This configuration sensitively conveys subtle water currents—which can often go unnoticed with other Shinpen models—to the angler. Its optimal reel resistance maintains a consistently “catchable range,” while improved line twist correction makes it easier to track the lure’s position. As a result, anglers can adopt a more aggressive approach, unlocking the potential for one, or even two, additional strikes.
