Jackall Jimmy Henge

JACKALL’s JIMMY HENGE is a super-finesse reaction bait developed to trigger the predatory instinct of inactive fish. Centered around recreating the twitch-and-pause action of a small suspending plug with a soft bait, its ultra-slow fall and quick darting action create a pause that allows the lure to be shown to the fish before stopping.

It features a distinctive silhouette that combines a bullet-shaped rocket body with five flat arms. The body shape helps reduce rolling during retrieves while also taking casting distance and control into consideration. The arms not only push water to communicate the lure’s presence, but also serve as a visual element that changes the silhouette when the lure is moved. In addition, the flat legs create sharp braking underwater, producing a crisp stop that prevents the action from drifting. A cup-shaped front receives water during twitches to create a darting action. A component for rigging the hook is built into the cup.

It is primarily used on a weightless rig, with the basic presentation consisting of twitches followed by pauses after the lure lands. Set the hook on the front-cup side and work the lure from just below the surface to the mid-water column, using it much like a small suspending plug to create a stop-and-go presentation. According to official information, the JIMMY HENGE 50 weighs approximately 2.8 g, while the JIMMY HENGE 42 weighs approximately 1.7 g. With its approximately 1 g weight advantage, the 50 is also suited to approaches using long casts.
