Carpenter GRM 100-210mm / GRM 120-220mm

The Carpenter GRM (Garam) is a high-performance topwater popper developed for serious offshore casting applications.

Available in 210mm and 220mm sizes, the GRM is offered in multiple configurations to give anglers different options depending on target species and fishing conditions. Carpenter's current releases include SH-L, SH, MD and LM for the GRM 100-210mm, while the GRM 120-220mm is also available in the SH-LL configuration.

The GRM has proven especially effective for targeting powerful offshore species including GT, Tuna and Hiramasa (Yellowtail Kingfish).

Made in Japan

Weight is shown as an approximate weight class. Actual lure weight may vary depending on model and configuration.

Performance

The GRM is designed as an offshore popper with an emphasis on casting performance and consistent action.

Carpenter's own catch records include an angler using the GRM 100-210 SH who specifically reported excellent casting distance and noted that the lure was easy to use with very few action errors. That lure produced a 33.8 kg (approx. 75 lb) Yellowfin Tuna off Japan in 2025.

Proven on Trophy Fish

The GRM has already produced impressive catches documented by Carpenter.

A GRM 210mm SH was used to catch a 30 kg (approx. 66 lb) GT in Komodo, Indonesia. During the six-day trip, the angler landed eight GT and reported that the fish responded to the GRM when other lures were not producing.

Even more impressive, Carpenter documents a 183 kg (approx. 403 lb) Bluefin Tuna caught in Nagasaki, Japan on the GRM 120 SH in June 2025.

Available GRM Configurations

GRM 100-210mm: SH-L / SH / MD / LM
GRM 120-220mm: SH-LL / SH-L / SH / MD / LM

Different configurations may have different characteristics and weights. Choose the model that best matches your target species, tackle and fishing conditions.

Please Note

Carpenter lures are produced using natural wood bodies. Because of variations in the natural material, color and finish may vary slightly between individual lures. Carpenter also notes that metal finishes can reflect characteristics of the underlying wood body.

Carpenter Damsel 120-185mm / PP

The Carpenter Damsel 120-185mm is a floating topwater popper designed to offer a different presentation when GT, Hiramasa, and Tuna are not responding to conventional pencil lures.

Carpenter redesigned the Damsel's body shape and weight placement to create its own distinctive movement and surface action. One of its key characteristics is a “sweet” popping sound, which Carpenter notes can be particularly effective when targeting tuna.

The Damsel excels in calm, flat-water conditions, making it an excellent alternative when fish are reluctant to respond to diving pencils or other traditional surface presentations.

Specifications

Model: Damsel 120-185mm / Damsel 120-185mm PP
Length: 185 mm
Weight: Approx. 120 g*
Type: Floating (F)
Recommended Hook Weight: Approx. 11 g per hook
Recommended Split Ring: Carpenter 250 lb
Target Species: GT, Hiramasa (Yellowtail Kingfish), Tuna
Made in Japan

Action & Recommended Conditions

The Damsel produces a distinctive surface movement combined with its characteristic sweet popping sound.

Carpenter particularly recommends the Damsel in calm and flat-water conditions. When GT, Hiramasa, or Tuna are showing little interest in pencil lures, switching to the Damsel's popper presentation can give fish a completely different stimulus.

Proven in the Field

During Carpenter's testing in Okinawa under windless, glass-calm conditions, prototype Damsels produced an impressive five GT in approximately half a day of fishing.

Carpenter has also documented the Damsel being used successfully for GT, Tuna, and Sailfish, demonstrating its versatility for serious offshore casting applications.

Hook & Split Ring Recommendation

Carpenter recommends approximately 11 g per hook with a 250 lb split ring.

Hook and split-ring specifications are design recommendations and may be adjusted depending on target species, fishing conditions, and desired lure buoyancy.

Please Note

Approx. 120 g is Carpenter's published specification for the standard Damsel 120 without hooks. Weight may vary depending on model/type.

Colors and finishes may vary slightly between individual lures.

Carpenter Strike Eagle FG Series – SE120-230mm / SE150-245mm

The Carpenter Strike Eagle FG Series is a high-specific-gravity version of Carpenter's Strike Eagle, offered in multiple FG configurations for serious offshore casting applications. The current FG lineup includes the SE120-230mm FG and SE150-245mm FG, with FG-N and FG-MD models.

The Strike Eagle was developed with a different action character from Carpenter lures such as the Gamma, Blue Fish, Maihime, Gen-ei and Hayabusa. Carpenter designed the Strike Eagle to provide another presentation option when changing lure action can make the difference in triggering a strike.

One of the strengths of the Strike Eagle is its controllability in challenging surface conditions. According to Carpenter, the lure is particularly easy to work when small wind waves or current-driven surface chop make it difficult to impart clean action to a lure. It is also designed to be easy to operate from boats with higher casting decks.

The Strike Eagle responds to short- through medium-stroke actions, giving anglers flexibility to adjust their presentation according to sea conditions and fish activity. Carpenter lists Hiramasa (yellowtail/kingfish), GT, tuna and buri (Japanese amberjack) among the target species for the Strike Eagle.

Carpenter develops its lures through field testing and states that its lure lineup is designed around different lure types, sizes and actions so anglers can adapt to changing bait, fish activity and sea conditions.

Specifications

SE120 FG

• Model: SE120-230mm FG
• Length: 230mm
• Weight: 120g
• Available Models: FG-N / FG-MD

SE150 FG

Carpenter Hayabusa 120-235 L-Quiet

The Carpenter Hayabusa HB120-235 L-Quiet is a floating surface plug designed for anglers targeting powerful game fish. The Hayabusa is designed to produce an effective and versatile action across a wide range of retrieve speeds.

The lure responds well to different combinations of jerk speed, stroke length, strength, and pauses, allowing anglers to adjust the presentation to match the conditions and fish activity. Carpenter notes that the Hayabusa can be worked with short- to medium-stroke actions and at a variety of retrieve speeds.

The Hayabusa is also designed to be easy to operate when wind waves or tidal surface conditions make lure manipulation difficult, as well as when fishing from boats with a high casting deck.

Carpenter's testing and catch records include large yellowtail (Hiramasa) and GT, including yellowtail over 20 kg and GT exceeding 40 kg.

Specifications

• Model: HB120-235 L-Quiet
• Length: 235 mm
• Weight: Approx. 113 g (without hooks)
• Buoyancy: Floating (F)

Hook & Split Ring Recommendation

• Hook weight: Approx. 11 g per hook
• Split ring: 250 lb

Hook and split ring specifications are Carpenter's design recommendations. Actual hook and split ring selection may be adjusted according to the target species and desired buoyancy.
