The Daiwa Saltiga Dorado Pencil SADL14F86 5.5″ is a heavy-duty floating pencil bait built for explosive topwater action. Its open-mouth and gill-slit design creates an enticing bubble trail, while the weighted belly allows for long-distance casting and a horizontal, shimmering sink that perfectly mimics a wounded baitfish. Twitch and rip retrieves bring the lure to life with darting, spluttering action that drives pelagic predators into savage strikes.

Use a walk-the-dog retrieve with twitches and pauses to maximize bubble trail and darting action. Long casts and sudden rips are effective for triggering surface explosions.
