How to work it
The Jack Eye Kick Bottom is a sinking inchiku designed to work the bottom in 30m+ depths with minimal effort. Deploy it on a simple slow, steady wind-the lure's design generates enticing action without aggressive jigging. This approach suits snapper, kingfish, gurnard, and trevally holding tight to the seabed. The weight range (80-150 g) allows you to match bottom conditions and drift speed; heavier options help maintain contact in strong current or deeper water, while lighter weights suit slower drifts or shallower bottom marks. The multi-purpose eye system lets you add hooks or blades to boost attraction on tough days. Work it methodically over rough ground and structure where bottom feeders congregate.
