JDM Lure Technique from Japan: Rocky Reservoir Bottom Technique with JACKALL King Jimmy Henge Medium

This time, we would like to introduce a reservoir technique from Taka, a JACKALL-supported guide who is active on Japanese reservoirs such as Sameura Dam in Kochi.

The lure used in this video is the JACKALL King Jimmy Henge Medium.

For this setup, Taka combines the King Jimmy Henge Medium with the new JACKALL CUTBALL SQueeZE.

The CUTBALL SQueeZE is a jig head setup with a strong guard. It is designed to help the rig come through cover and rocky bottom more smoothly.

The CUTBALL itself has a very unique shape.

According to JACKALL, the cut surfaces of the CUTBALL catch water resistance. This helps reduce the moving distance of the rig. When used with a steady retrieve, it creates a comfortable resistance and helps keep the rig from rising too much.

Taka uses these features in a very practical way.

In the video, he casts the rig to steep rocky banks in a Japanese reservoir.

Instead of swimming it high in the water column, he uses it close to the bottom and rolls it along the rocks.

This is where the snag-resistant character of the setup becomes very important.

On steep rocky reservoir banks, a normal rig can easily get stuck between rocks. When that happens too often, the angler loses time, rhythm, and concentration.

But with this setup, Taka can keep the rig moving through the rocks more smoothly.

That allows him to maintain a steady fishing rhythm and keep the bait in productive areas longer.

This is not just about using a new jig head.

It is about matching the rig to the field.

A steep rocky reservoir bank requires a lure that can stay close to the bottom, move naturally, and avoid getting stuck too often.

The combination of King Jimmy Henge Medium and CUTBALL SQueeZE is a very good match for that situation.
