About this product
Blade jigs sit between a metal jig and a spinner. They are dense, so they cast a long way and sink fast, and they have enough body to be worked with a jigging action rather than just wound in. The NBL1008N adds a detail most do not have: a small spoon on a swivel at the rear hook, which spins as the jig moves and throws flash from angles the flat body cannot reach.
At the head is a sharp assist hook dressed with flash, so the lure has two hook points on separate parts of the body – useful when fish are hitting short, which they often do on a fast retrieve.
Three weights are made, 21 g, 28 g and 40 g, in eight colours – 301 through 308, with 301 luminous. Those weights are light enough for an ordinary 3000 to 4000 spinning outfit, which makes this a shore and jetty lure as much as a boat one.
Off Dar es Salaam it suits casting off the rocks and beaches, working a channel mouth, and light vertical jigging from a boat – queenfish, barracuda, small kingfish, bonito, trevally and snapper. Inland it is a good tigerfish lure.
