Jigging Lures
Jigging, whether its fast paced or slow pitched, is an effective way of targeting kingfish, snapper and other predatory species. It can be a physically demanding style of fishing that requires a good level of fitness, but the results can make the effort very worthwhile.
The main aim to get your jig 'dancing' through the water column, enticing the local predators to attack. But choosing the right jig for your target species and the water environment you're fishing in is important. Long and slim jigs, typically designed for kingies are relatively easy to retrieve, and they're usually available in bigger weights, making them ideal for deeper water. Wider, more fluttery jigs are ideal for mid-depth jigging and targeting species who feed in the middle of the water column.

DEEPWATER SLIM JIGS
SHAPE AND MOVEMENT
Our Deepwater Slim jigs are a low resistance, long, narrow jig designed for deepwater fishing. These jigs will descend with a slight fluttering action but at a rapid pace which allows you to get to the bottom quickly. Being a narrow profile, you're able to generate both speed and action on the retrieve without much resistance, making it ideal for vertical jigging.
IDEAL TARGETS
Kingfish and other deepwater species, like bluenose, hapuku and gemfish.
JIG SIZES
Available fully dressed as 200g, 300g and 400g jigs.
KNIFE JIGS

SHAPE AND MOVEMENT
Our Knife jigs are a tail weighted metal jig, with a wider profile, which creates more resistance and noise in the water. They're available in holographic colours with UV belly strips or stripes for better visibility in deep water. These jigs are designed to drop quickly, tail down, through the water column and then worked fast using a mechanical jigging action. This will make the jig dart side to side on the retrieve. Ideal for short jigging rods and working at a fast speed to allow the jig to dart.
IDEAL TARGETS
Kingfish and other predators looking for a bigger meal.
JIG SIZES
Available fully dressed as 150g, 200g and 300g jigs.

FLUTTER JIGS

SHAPE AND MOVEMENT
Our Flutter jigs are designed to do just as the name suggests - to 'flutter' through the water column. This is due to the uneven profile with a low profile scoop out of one side. Whether fishing slowly with a “lift and flutter” technique or “dead sticking”, the balance and shape of the jig produces a flutter that's irresistible to all shallow water species.
IDEAL TARGETS
Perfectly suited to shallow water fishing (under 50m) and can be fished in the current while drifting. Ideal for targeting everything from trout and mackerel to snapper and kingfish.
JIG SIZES
Available fully dressed as 60g, 80g and 100g jigs.

FLIPPER JIGS

SHAPE AND MOVEMENT
Our slow pitched Flipper jigs are designed for shallowish water. The leaf-shape body has a pronounced scoop on one side which gives the jig its unique movement. Designed to imitate a wounded bait fish, our Flipper jigs fall with a wide and sweeping side-to-side movement and retrieve with an erratic darting action. You can fish these jigs on the drift or at anchor.
IDEAL TARGETS
Ideal for targeting a wide range of species from snapper to kingfish and kahawai/Australian salmon.
JIG SIZES
Available fully dressed as 60g, 80g, 100g, 150g and 200g jigs.

SUNAKKU®

SHAPE AND MOVEMENT
Our Sunakku® jigs are designed for fishing in medium to deep water. We've packed as much lumo and UV content into our jigs as we possibly can, which improves their visibility in deeper water. The customised head creates a turbulant flow of water around it, which creates an enticing wiggle from the free flowing skirts. These jigs can be fished both on the drift or dropping into the current. The head of the lure slides up and down the trace, reducing the fish’s ability to use the weight as leverage to shake the hooks. Use a mechanical jigging action where after 5-10 pumps of the rod and corresponding singular turns of the reel handle. The lure is dropped back down and the action repeated. When the line angle gets to around 45 degrees, the lure is retrieved to the surface and the scenario repeated.
IDEAL TARGETS
Targeting predatory species, like snapper, in medium to deep water. You can also add thin slivers of bait to further entice your target.
JIG SIZES
The 60g, 80g, 100g and 130g jigs come with a 1/0 hook set and straight skirt set. The 200g jig comes with a 2/0 hook set and a curly skirt. You can purchase replacement skirts to switch between straight and curly skirts if desired.
