Meet the Daiwa Masuno Twig Jr.

Designed as a bite‑sized worm action lure, the Masuno Twig Jr. excels in small water where trout are wary and visibility is limited. Measuring 1.7 inches (43 mm) and weighing 0.04 oz (1.2 g), this matte black lure delivers a discreet profile that slots into tight spots with ease and offers a light, natural presence in the water.

Key design highlights

The lure features a top lip paired with four connecting joints, creating a distinct worm‑like motion during retrieval. This setup allows for fluid body movement that anglers can shape with their rhythm, while the compact size helps you cast into creeks, under overhangs, and other snag‑prone zones.
