One of the many highlights and discoveries in Japan was finding a growing choice of what can only be described as ‘nano metals’. Those weighing under 3.5 grams.
Metal Jigs
Using Metal Jigs is one of the most active and exciting lure fishing methods in the LRF arsenal. Metal Jigs are available in a wide array of shapes, sizes and colours and can be fitted with small treble hooks, singles, or assists. They are normally cast out or jigged vertically in deep water. Sink-and-draw is a successful technique and fish will often attack metal lures on-the-drop.
Scad on Blue Metal Jig
An energetic Scad caught on a blue metal slow jig out on the boat today.
5am Scad
Had to get up early for my first Scad of the year. Here it is. 5am Scad.
Pollack on Metal
Pollack caught on a HTO Fugitive metal jig. In my favourite colour, Scad.
Smelt on Metals
Micro metal is a fun technique to target Sand Smelt, but the key is tuning your metal jig with the appropriate sized assist hooks.
Corkwing on Metal
Hugely satisfying and a big points score. Corkwing on metal. Tuned 2g Reins Palpuntin jig.
Poor Cod on Metal Jig
Unexpected bonus this evening. Found a thick shoal of Poor Cod on dusk. Made short work of them with a HTO Shore Jig.
Goldsinny Wrasse on Metal
Okay, maybe more luck than judgement in over 60 feet of water, but Goldsinny-on-a-metal is still a good one to tick off!
