FCL Labo Squid Pencil – High-Response Surface Pencil

Made in Japan.

The FCL Labo Squid Pencil is a high‑response surface pencil designed to imitate the sharp, darting movement of a fleeing squid — one of the most effective bait profiles for tuna, GT, kingfish, amberjack, and other aggressive pelagic predators. Built with FCL Labo’s signature precision shaping and internal weight tuning, the Squid Pencil delivers explosive surface action, long‑distance casting, and a crisp, clean swim that triggers reaction strikes even in tough conditions.

The Squid Pencil series is known for its ability to create a tight, fast darting motion with minimal angler effort. Its hydrodynamic body produces a sharp “escape” action that mimics squid fleeing across the surface, making it extremely effective when predators are keyed in on squid or small baitfish.

Concept & Target Species The Squid Pencil is designed for high‑speed lure work and excels when targeting tuna, GT, kingfish, amberjack, mahi, and other fast‑moving pelagics. Its tuned surface action is ideal when fish are feeding aggressively or when a lure needs to stand out in choppy water.

Action & Performance The lure produces a crisp splash, followed by a tight, fast darting action with a controlled slide. This movement is engineered to switch predators into feeding mode, especially when they are chasing squid or reacting to sudden, sharp lure motion. The Squid Pencil’s balance allows anglers to work it quickly without losing stability.
