  • Attracts big snapper, kingfish, hapuku, bluenose, and other large predatory fish.
  • Comes fully rigged with an extra-strong assist hook secured with Kevlar® thread.

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

This knife jig is built for deep-water vertical jigging in the 10-30 m zone.

Drop it tail-down and work it with sharp, mechanical jerks to create a darting side-to-side action, or slow the cadence for a more subtle flutter on the lift.

The fast-sinking profile cuts through the water quickly, so match your jigging rhythm to the depth and current; faster strokes in strong flow, slower pulses in slack conditions.

Pair it with a solid overhead or baitcaster outfit and braided mainline for direct feel and hook-up authority when targeting snapper, kingfish, hapuku, and bluenose on rough ground and deep reefs.
