Shimano's Lucanus Jigs return to Australian waters with a promise to redefine bottom fishing techniques. Originally inspired by successful commercial methods from Japan, the Lucanus Jigs are back with new colours aimed at enhancing their performance and versatility.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each Lucanus Jig features a hydrodynamic head designed to sink quickly and stabilize effortlessly during retrieval. The addition of glowing eyes on the jig's head enhances visibility in deep waters, attracting strikes from lurking predators.
Available in sizes ranging from 60g to 150g and a variety of colours mimicking local baitfish and squid, the Lucanus Jigs cater to diverse fishing conditions. Whether rigged conventionally for shallow waters or adapted with additional weights for deeper, faster currents, the jig offers flexibility in targeting specific depths and species preferences.
Field-tested in Australian waters, the Lucanus Jigs have demonstrated superior performance compared to traditional fishing techniques. Their ability to maintain a steady presence in the strike zone, coupled with the lifelike pulsating action of the silicon skirts, consistently entices even wary fish to strike.
Despite encounters with rocky bottoms and rugged underwater structures, the Lucanus Jigs exhibit impressive durability. While the painted finishes may show signs of wear over time, the jigs retain their effectiveness. Replacement skirts, available in various colours, allow anglers to refurbish their jigs and experiment with different colour combinations to match changing fishing conditions.
Shimano's reintroduction of the Lucanus Jigging System to Australia marks a significant advancement in bottom fishing technology. By blending innovative design with proven fishing principles, Shimano has not only revitalized an age-old technique but also elevated it to new levels of effectiveness and enjoyment. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, investing in the Lucanus Jigs promises to enhance your fishing experience, offering reliability, versatility, and a renewed sense of adventure on Australia's diverse coastal waters.
