How to work it
Cast the Jack Eye Shot to reach deep structure and wide feeding zones, then work it on a steady, controlled retrieve. The rear-weighted slim body sinks quickly to the bottom 30m+ zone and delivers a slow, wide wobble that attracts kingfish, snapper, gurnard, and trevally without requiring aggressive jigging.
Maintain a constant winding pace to keep the lure in the strike zone; the natural swimming action and asymmetrical hologram finish will trigger reaction bites from feeding fish.
Pair with a medium-weight jig rod and braid for direct contact and sensitivity to strikes, especially when targeting deeper structure where these species hold.
