Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the HJ 130S long - its slim, streamlined 130mm body and 60g weight give distance from boat or shore, useful when wind or current works against you.
Let it sink to reach feeding fish; on the drop it shimmies like an injured baitfish, so pause the retrieve to trigger strikes as it falls.
Work it back with a mix of speed and steady sweeps to match bait behaviour.
The tight wobble imitates slender baitfish like garfish, flying fish and needlefish, so vary cadence until you find what the fish want that day.
Pair with a rod and reel matched to hard-pulling pelagics - this lure targets tuna, kingfish, GTs and mackerel.
In deep or windy conditions the fast-sinking design lets you get down to feeding depth quickly, then rip and pause through the strike zone.
