Soft plastic Flagman Hitomi 2"

Medium confidence
7/10
Unpredictable effectiveness across varied conditions — successful perch fishing offset by pike failures and moderate results in hot weather
Flagman Hitomi 2" now has 15 solo reports with an average rating of 3.73/5, showing substantial variation (2–5 range). Four new September reports expand the target species range (pike, horse mackerel, perch) and weather variety. Two five-star ratings on perch and horse mackerel show promise, but pike failure (3/5) and poor daytime perch catch at 28°C (2/5) confirm technique and condition sensitivity. No combo reports in the new batch, strengthening lure attribution, though overall reliability remains questionable.
Best conditions
Evening hours (17:30–19:00) with calm to moderate wind (6–11 km/h), partly cloudy or rainy with low sun angle; lakes and beach waters
Best target fish
Small perch in evening hours; potentially horse mackerel under favorable conditions
- Focus on evening fishing (after 17:30) when bites intensify; daytime fishing above 28°C proves ineffective
- Test slow bottom crawls on calm days with moderate wind (6–11 km/h) — these yield best perch results
- Pike response is weak; consider larger silicone alternatives for pike targeting
15 solo reports remain a modest sample for confident assessment. All reports fall within June–September; year-round dynamics unknown. New data shows success on species beyond perch (horse mackerel), but insufficient data to forecast competitive standing. Lacks systematic comparison with similar-size and design silicone lures.
