About this lure

The Hayabusa Jack Eye Ace is a highly versatile metal jig built for maximum casting distance and consistent fish-catching appeal. Designed to excel in shore jigging where distance matters most, its aero body and rear-weighted balance allow anyone to cast further with ease while maintaining excellent action through the retrieve.

Outstanding casting distance – Rear centre of gravity aero body launches effortlessly from shore
All-round jig action – Performs one-pitch jerks, fast retrieves, and simple steady winds with ease
Switch Holo finish – Alternating left and right flash triggers reaction strikes
SABIKI Assist hook – Colour-matched assist increases appeal and improves hook-up rates
Balanced jig profile – Combines long-cast performance with strong in-water attraction
Shore jigging focused – Ideal for covering water and reaching distant fish

A reliable choice for targeting pelagics from the shore or boat, the Jack Eye Ace delivers distance, control, and reaction-triggering flash in one easy-to-fish jig.

How to work it

Cast the Jack Eye Ace to distance and work it through the water column with one-pitch jerks, fast retrieves, or steady winds - all retrieve styles trigger strikes. The rear-weighted aero body sinks to the bottom and beyond 30 m, making it ideal for reaching deep structure where snapper, kingfish, kahawai, gurnard, and trevally hold. The alternating holo finish flashes on both sides of the jig, triggering reaction bites in deeper water.

Pair it with a responsive jig rod and braid for direct feel and control, especially when shore jigging where distance is critical. The colour-matched SABIKI assist hook adds extra appeal on the drop and during pauses.
