MARUSHIN KEIMURA FUNE SABIKI

Introduction to the Keimura Boat / shore / pier / jetty Sabiki (ケイムラ船サビキ)

The dragon-branded Keimura Boat Sabiki is a highly specialized, multi-hook fishing rig meticulously engineered for off-shore and boat-based angling, focusing on schooling species like large horse mackerel (大アジ) and mackerel (サバ). This series utilizes an innovative design to solve the challenge of enticing fish in varying light conditions, making it an essential tool for both hobbyists and seasoned anglers seeking maximum efficiency on the water.

drawing immediate attention to its primary targets: "大アジ" (Large Horse Mackerel) and "サバ" (Mackerel). A notable seal near the top highlights "TOHO Inc. 製 特殊蛍光体 (ケイムラ) 使用" (Made by TOHO Inc., Using Special Fluorescent Keimura Body), guaranteeing that the product features premium fluorescent materials.

A concise specifications grid is featured at the top left, which allows fishers to select the ideal scale for their targets:

• Size 10: 3-号 branch line (ハリス), 5-号 main line (幹糸), 12cm branch length, 35cm spacing.

• Size 11: 4-号 branch line, 6-号 main line, 12cm branch length, 35cm spacing.

• Size 12: 4-号 branch line, 6-号 main line, 12cm branch length, 35cm spacing.

• Size 13: 5-号 branch line, 7-号 main line, 12cm branch length, 35cm spacing.

All variants maintain a total rig length (全長) of 235cm, optimized for boat rods and manageable deployment.

The Keimura Advantage

Keimura (紫外線をうけ青白く発光する) is the core technology of this rig. Unlike standard glow-in-the-dark (phosphorescent) materials that require charging and can fade, Keimura reacts specifically to ultraviolet (UV) light, which penetrates deeper into the water column. When UV rays hit the specialized foil and fiber dressings, they fluoresce with a natural, enticing blue-white glow. This subtle, high-visibility effect mimics natural marine bioluminescence and iridescent prey, making the hooks stand out even in deep, murky, or overcast conditions. The gold-finished hooks, complemented by bright green glowing beads, create an irresistible visual trigger that drives baitfish to strike.

Technical Insights and Best Practices

The back of the package provides a complete anatomical diagram and step-by-step instructions. The rig features snaps on both ends for easy attachment of the mainline and weight (sinker), with 6 hooks spaced precisely at 35cm intervals (and a 25cm lead to the bottom snap).

To maximize results:

1. Chumming (コマセ): Fill a chum cage (コマセカゴ) to about 80% capacity with tiny krill (アミエビ).

2. Action: Lower the rig to the fish's swimming depth, and gently jig the rod up and down to disperse the bait and flutter the Keimura hooks.

3. Patience Pays off: Upon the first bite, do not retrieve immediately. Keep a steady, gentle tension; this allows the thrashing of the first fish to animate the remaining hooks, resulting in double, triple, or even full-house catches on a single drop.
