After a year and a half of product testing, the micro 40g and 60g tungsten jigs are finally in the Store. To make them even more enticing, gold flutter blades from the Japanese maker Little Jack are also being sold.

Why did it takes so long? Well, 2020 and 2021 were actually lousy fishing years, not just because of Covid but probably because of the effects of La Nina. We’re still in a La Nina but fishing has picked up considerably. Oama are still flooding the islands and nearshore preds are being caught.

Because of the less than ideal fishing, jigging wasn’t on the top of mind of the lure testers but each had great catches before either losing their jig to a fish or the reef. There were no complaints about the jigs whatsoever.

The Little Jack gold blades are highly sought after jig attractants not sold in the US. When added to the rear hook of a jig, they make the jig look like it has a a small bait fish is following a larger bait fish. The blades are just shy of 1.5 inches.

Blades are often attached behind rear treble hooks so when the predator tries to eat the blade, thinking it’s eating a smaller fish, it ends up eating the treble hook also.

40g and 60g tungsten jigs in both the blue/silver and green/gold colors, and the 3-pack of Little Jack gold blades are being currently sold at introductory pricing. There are only 5 of each size and color combination (20 total jigs) and 5 3-packs of gold blades to start. Pricing will increase after this initial batch is sold out. Comparable tungsten jigs sell for much more.
