About this lure

The Hayabusa Jack Eye Mame Kunekune is a downsized light jig designed for finesse jigging and sabiki-style fishing. Built to come alive with minimal input, it produces a natural wriggling action on a simple slow retrieve, making it ideal for light tackle and fun, effective fishing close to the bottom or through bait schools.

  • Downsized Kunekune action – Lively wriggle activates just by reeling, even at slow speeds
  • Bottom-focused tie – Enhances appeal to bottom fish when worked near the seabed
  • Sabiki assist hook – Improves hook-up rates on small schooling fish
  • Light Gomoku jig design – Easy to use across multiple species and situations
  • Perfect for light tackle – Ideal for anglers wanting simple, enjoyable light-game sessions
  • Versatile presentation – Fish it with a slow wind, gentle lifts, or short hops off the bottom

Well suited to snapper, aji / jack mackerel, mackerel and other small to medium inshore species, the Jack Eye Mame Kunekune is a reliable option when fish want a subtle, natural-looking jig.

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

Cast the Mame Kunekune and work it with a slow, steady retrieve-the jig's wriggling action activates on minimal input, so a simple wind is often all that's needed. Target the bottom and bait schools, using gentle lifts or short hops to trigger strikes from kahawai, trout, trevally, and aji. Light tackle pairs well with this downsized jig; the sabiki-style assist hook improves hook-ups on schooling fish. Fish it close to structure or through feeding zones with patience-the natural action does most of the work.
