Hayabusa - Jack Eye Mame Hirarin
About this lure
The Hayabusa Jack Eye Mame Hirarin is a specialised micro jig designed to fall at an ultra-slow speed that traditional lead jigs simply canβt achieve. By using a tin alloy body with a lower specific gravity than lead, this lure creates a unique fluttering descent that keeps it in the strike zone longer and triggers instinctive bites.

How to work it
The Mame Hirarin excels in mid-water zones (2-10 m) where its ultra-slow, fluttering descent keeps it in the strike zone far longer than conventional lead jigs.
Cast uptide or across current and work it with minimal rod movement-short, gentle lifts followed by controlled drops allow the tin alloy body to flutter naturally and trigger bites from aji and trout, especially in pressured or inactive conditions.
Pair it with light spinning or baitcasting tackle to feel the subtle action and detect soft takes. Lighter weights (1-1.5 g) suit shallow, calm water; heavier versions (2-3 g) help you reach deeper zones or fish in stronger current while maintaining that signature slow fall.

#2 UV Pink SardineUV pink reads well across conditions and is a reliable confidence colour for both target species.
#3 UV Red GoldWarm gold flash with UV boost pulls fish in low light or lightly stained water.
#4 UV Fluoro YellowHigh-vis fluoro stands out when the water is murky or the light is flat.
#5 Silver Blue LumoSilver flash with lumo glow covers low light and dawn starts when fish are deep in the zone.
