Target Species & Techniques

Designed for slow-pitch jigging targeting Dhufish, Baldchin Groper, and Pink Snapper offshore. The parabolic action produces an irresistible jig flutter on the fall, triggering strikes from reef-dwelling species that ignore conventional speed jigging. Also well suited to targeting Samson Fish and Amberjack when they're sitting deep and reluctant to chase fast-moving jigs.
