Jika Rig Options
The Jika Rig is a great option for heavy cover when you want to fish a lure close to the bottom – which is essentially what rockfishing or wrasse fishing is. The Jika rig falls vertically, meaning it punches through weed well and limits the chance of getting hung up. Traditionally, a Jika rig is made from three components – an offset hook, a split ring and a weight – although there are some options which I’ll cover further down.
34 Freely Slim Case
Another cool JDM item that made it home with me from my 2018 Japan trip – the 34 Freely Slim Case.

Abu Garcia Revo Premier Spin 10 Review
As I write this, my Revo Premier Spin 10 by Abu Garcia is sat collecting dust on the shelf. The reason it hasn’t had an outing for a while is that the anti-reverse bearing has failed. It’s only a problem in the cold, but the result is a sudden slip into reverse wind when the rotor is under tension, resulting in sore knuckles or worse, a lost fish. But don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a negative review at all. Far from it.
Texas Rigging
Texas rigging is a common rig for lure fishing, especially if you need to present a weedless / snagless offering, via an offset hook. An offset hook is most often a wide gape hook with a kink in the shank, near the eye.
Cultiva JH-83 Mebaru Bullet Jig Head
My number one favourite jig head for thin fake baits like Isome, Gulp and Ecogear Aqua is the Cultiva JH-83 Mebaru Bullet.
Cheb Rig For LRF
I’m no real fan of the Cheb rig but it does offer the LRF angler a solution to the challenge of fishing small hooks with heavier weights, in a style close to Jighead.
