The Showerblows (SB) series, a standout collaboration between Daiwa and Evergreen International, is a masterclass in topwater engineering. Designed by legendary Japanese angler Morizo Shimizu, the SB is a hybrid lure that blends the attributes of a pencil walker, a popper, and a spitting bait. Its unique “pencil-popper” geometry allows it to “walk the dog” with incredible ease while throwing a massive amount of spray and creating a distinct acoustic signature. Whether you are targeting schooling fish in open water or calling up big predators from submerged timber, the SB is designed to provoke violent surface strikes through sheer commotion and rhythmic action.

Key Features

• Unique Spitting Mouth: Features a shallow, cupped face that spits and bubbles as the lure walks, mimicking a panicked baitfish breaking the surface.
• Effortless “Walk-the-Dog” Action: The weight distribution and body taper allow the lure to swing side-to-side with minimal rod effort, creating a wide, splashing glide.
• Long-Cast Rear Weighting: Internally balanced with heavy tungsten weights in the tail, ensuring arrow-straight, long-distance casts even in windy conditions.
• Multi-Rattle Sound System: Equipped with internal stainless steel and tungsten balls that create a complex, high-pitched “clacking” sound that can be heard from great depths.
• Aerodynamic Body Shape: The slim, tapered profile reduces air resistance during the cast and provides a sleek silhouette that fish find difficult to distinguish from real forage.
• Tournament-Grade Hardware: Armed with three premium, razor-sharp treble hooks (on larger models) to maximize hook-up ratios during aggressive surface “slap” bites.

The Evergreen Showerblows SB-105 is the refined, “downsized” successor to the legendary SB-125, designed by Japanese pro Morizo Shimizu to provide the same explosive topwater action in a more accessible, bite-sized profile. It occupies a unique space in the topwater world, functioning as a hybrid between a pencil popper and a walk-the-dog stickbait.

Key Features:

• Aerodynamic Long-Cast Design: Despite the smaller 105mm body, it retains the weight-forward balance and “bullet” shape of the original. This allows for massive casting distance, making it ideal for covering large flats or reaching schooling fish without spooking them with the boat.
• Aggressive Spitting Action: The “cup” design at the mouth is specifically shaped to throw a spray of water forward while the bait “walks.” This mimics a panicked baitfish on the surface and creates a much louder disturbance than a standard walk-the-dog lure.
• Internal Tungsten Weights: It features a sophisticated rattle system that emits a high-pitched “clacking” sound. This acoustic signature is designed to pull fish up from deep water or out of thick grass.
• Perfect Tail-Down Posture: When paused, the SB-105 sits tail-down in the water. This ensures that the rear feathered treble hook is submerged, significantly increasing the hook-up ratio when a bass “slaps” at the bait.
• Strategic Size (105mm): The reduction in size from the 125 version makes this lure more effective in high-pressure situations, on smaller bodies of water, or when the “match the hatch” requires a smaller baitfish profile.
