Sakura Mister Joe 105 S Silent – 105mm 22.5g

Sakura Mister Joe 105 S Silent – 105mm 22.5g

The Stealth Sub-Surface Specialist – Reinforced for Giant Battles

The Sakura Mister Joe 105 S Silent represents the perfect middle ground in the legendary Mister Joe lineup. While the 80mm is for finesse and the 120mm is for heavy predators, the 105mm is the “all-rounder” that fits almost every saltwater and freshwater scenario. This Silent version is specifically designed for 2024 and beyond, catering to anglers who fish in high-pressure areas where traditional rattles might spook wary fish.

At 22.5g, it is dense enough to cast like a bullet, reaching offshore “boils” or distant river structures. Most importantly, from the 105mm size upwards, Sakura incorporates a Full Wire Frame, making this lure nearly indestructible against the crushing jaws of tropical and pelagic species.

Key Specifications

Technical Highlights

• Silent Stealth Advantage: Developed with Éric Le Guyader, the silent configuration is a “formidable variant” for calm waters. It excels when predators are following lures but refusing to commit due to unnatural rattling sounds.

• Full Wire-Through Integrity: The 105mm model is built with a reinforced stainless steel chassis that runs the entire length of the lure. This allows you to target powerful predators like Jacks, Amberjacks, and small Tuna without the risk of the hooks pulling out of the lure body.

• The “Eye” Signal: The oversized and extremely pronounced eye acts as a “bullseye” for predators, focusing their attack on the center of the lure and significantly improving your hook-up ratio.

• Sub-Surface Versatility: It provides a unique “walking the dog” action below the surface. On a linear retrieve, it follows a sinusoidal (S-curve) path, but with simple rod twitches, it darts erratically like a wounded baitfish.

Where & How to Use It

• The Asp Master: The 105mm size is widely considered the “optimal size” for simulating the small prey favored by large Asp. Its weight allows you to reach the middle of fast-flowing rivers where these predators hunt.

• “Follower” Situations: If you see fish following your surface poppers or floating stickbaits without attacking, switch to the 105 S Silent. Let it sink for a few seconds before beginning a subsurface retrieve to trigger those hesitant fish.

• Freshwater Tropicals: A must-have for traveling anglers chasing Aymara or Peacock Bass. The 105mm profile matches many tropical baitfish, while the full wire frame handles the violent strikes.

   

• Calm Coastal Mornings: When the sea is like a mirror, the Silent version is far more effective than the rattling model. Use a “stop and go” retrieve to let the lure shimmy on the drop.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“The 105 S Silent is my ‘clutch’ lure. It’s heavy enough to be thrown on a Medium (M) or Medium-Heavy (MH) Sakura Ryokan rod, making it very easy to handle. If you’re fishing for Sea Bass in clear water, don’t overwork it. A simple ‘twitch-twitch-pause’ allows the lure to sink slightly during the pause—that’s exactly when the big ones inhale it. Because it’s lead-free and silent, it’s the most ‘natural’ looking large stickbait in your box
