Drop it down. Wind it up. Get smashed.
The Shimano Lucanus Slow Jig is one of the easiest and most effective ways to catch fish. Designed to work with a simple slow lift and wind, it takes the effort out of bottom fishing — no bait needed.
With its squid-like profile, glowing eyes, and flaring skirts, the Lucanus creates irresistible movement in the water. Predators like snapper, kingfish, cod, and hapuka can’t help but attack — often hooking themselves.
The hydrodynamic head gets the jig down fast and keeps it stable during the retrieve, while the dual eyelet system allows you to adapt for current with added weight if needed.
Simple technique. Serious results.
