About this product
Almost every strike on a metal jig comes on the fall, not on the lift. That is why the shape and balance of a jig matter more than its finish: a well-balanced jig turns over and flutters as it drops, flashing on each roll, and looks exactly like a baitfish that has been hit and is sinking. A badly balanced one drops nose-first and looks like a piece of lead.
Noeby describe the 1005N as designed to flutter on the fall to mimic wounded baitfish and balanced to stay in the strike zone longer – which is the right claim for this kind of jig and matches the shape.
It is made in seven weights – 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180 and 210 g – at lengths from 80 mm to 120 mm, so it is a compact jig for its weight. That suits our reef fishing, where the bait is small. Finishes come in reflective, normal and luminous versions across five colour codes – NJ001, NJ003, NJ004, NJ006 and NJ077 – with glow bands on some models.
Off Dar es Salaam it works on the reef edges, drop-offs and pinnacles for grouper, snapper, jobfish, kingfish, amberjack and bonito. Choose the weight by the depth and the tide rather than by the fish.
