BlueBlue Gachisla 230HS Heavy Sinking Pencil
The Gachisla 230HS is BlueBlue's heavy-class sinking pencil, built for GT, tuna and big kingfish from the boat or off the stones. At 230 mm and 165 g the body is deliberately slim — low air resistance means it punches through a headwind and lands where you aimed it. Rear-weighted balance makes it fall fast and true, roughly 30 m in a touch over 30 seconds, so you can get down under a bust-up before it shuts. From there it takes anything you throw at it: flat-out burning, long jerks, short jerks. Because the rod load stays light you can keep working it all session instead of tapping out after twenty casts, and a free-running internal weight ball spikes the slide action with irregular movement that converts followers into hook-ups. Full through-wire construction.
