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.

Damiki Balhae Micro Jigs

New purchase. Appeased my metal addiction with a couple of these awesome looking Balhae micro metal jigs from Damiki. At first they looked like stretched Quantum Mahi jigs but on the reverse side to the eye they have a nice cut away design. I’m looking forward to trying them once I swap the treble over to assists.

Xesta After Burner Mini Casting Jigs

Really like these new Xesta After Burner Mini casting jigs, sourced from Art of Fishing while I was down in Cornwall. Not as cheap as the Quantum Mahi jigs but at £5.99 they aren’t the most expensive either. Great looking jig with a manic fluttering action. I took my recent Launce on the 7g version, as well as a ton of Pollock.

Fishing with Kouichi Murai of Breaden Japan

By a strange chain of events, I had the absolute pleasure of fishing with Kouichi Murai, CEO of the Breaden tackle company of Japan. My new friend Shota Jenkins Konno had asked if we could go Light Rock Fishing while they were both over in Europe and of course I jumped at the chance.
