Tanajig Aiya-tako Curly

TANAJIG’s Aiyaa~ Taco Curly is a tentacle-shaped soft bait for tai-rubber fishing, designed to be used in place of tai-rubber skirts or neckties. The four legs extending from the body consist of two straight legs and two curly legs, each creating different movements and attracting fish underwater as the rig is retrieved. The flexible body can be used with a hook system, and setting the included blue glow bead in the head section makes this rig well suited to deep-water tai-rubber fishing.

To use it, tie the hook to an assist line for tai-rubber fishing, thread on the included blue glow bead, and then insert the assist line into the Taco Curly body. Because the Taco Curly is soft and easy to turn inside out, the hook system can be assembled by running the line through the bait and sliding the bead up to the head. The completed rig is used by threading it through a sliding tai-rubber head. It can also be paired with commercially available recommended hook systems, making it easy to create a setup in which the Taco Curly and hooks move in sync. In deep water, the blue glow bead can be utilized to attract fish with a silhouette and leg action that differ from those of standard tai-rubber rigs.
