Shore, kayak and boat jiggers been doing well on the jigs. Get yours before we run out.

It’s no secret anymore that the micro-sized flat, beveled 40g and 60g tungsten jigs have been extremely productive. These were recently caught on them.

We still have a few left of that style but won’t be getting more for a while.

Instead, we are in the process of ordering these stubby-style tungsten jigs that we had brought in a few years ago. The 80g and 100g sizes sold out so quickly and this time we’re bringing in the 120g size.

120g would be perfect for the boat guys fishing the buoys for aku and shibi, and the kayak guys who want to fish 100ft to 300ft with a small profile jig. Even the cliff fishing guys could use these to get out far and deep.

The Duo Metal Force Semi Long jig (non-tungsten) worked again for Lawrence who got his first kagami ever on a 155g Semi Long last year. This time he used a 125g Semi Long, for his 2nd kagami, which came in just shy of 10lb. He jigs a lot and catches shibi, ulua, kahala and uku, but the only kagamis he ever caught were on the Duo jigs. Coincidence or is there something special about the jig that kagami like?

He followed the kagami up with a 48lb ulua bruiser.

And finished off his jigging with a nice omilu.

So far, he’s the only one who has fished the Duo Semi Long but some 250g jigs are on their way to California to be tempting Bluefin soon.

The Jig Testers will also be dropping down the 120g and 180g tungsten knife jigs.

I haven’t been able to help test the new jigs because I’ve been doing emergency body work on my rusted out 26 yr old Subaru Outback to extend its life for a few more years, so I’m super grateful that the much more talented Jig Testers have been able to provide proof of the jigs’ effectiveness.

You can check out all these jigs in the Jigging section of the Store here.
