About this lure

The Hayabusa Jack Eye Mame Makimaki is a downsized version of the popular Makimaki, engineered to keep the same “catch fish just by reeling” performance in a lighter, more finesse-focused profile. Carefully balanced to retain its proven action, it’s ideal for light jigging when fish want a smaller, easier target.

Downsized Makimaki design – Maintains the original Makimaki action in a compact form
Simple wind effectiveness – Produces fish-catching movement with just a steady retrieve
Carefully balanced body – Fine-tuned to retain stability and action despite the smaller size
Light-game focused – Perfect for finesse jigging and lighter tackle setups
Wide light-species appeal – Suits kingfish, koheru, aji / jack mackerel and other light targets
Easy-to-use jig – Ideal for anglers wanting consistent results without complex rod work

Whether you’re fishing harbours, inshore structure, or schooling fish, the Jack Eye Mame Makimaki delivers reliable action and bite-triggering appeal with minimal effort.

How to work it

Cast the Mame Makimaki to structure, schooling fish, or open water and retrieve with a steady wind. The sinking jig will work through the upper water column on a straight retrieve, producing its characteristic action with minimal rod work-ideal when fish are feeding actively.

For light-game species like mackeral, kahawai, trout, and trevally, a simple cast-and-retrieve approach is often all that's needed.

Match your jig weight to conditions: lighter weights (3-5 g) suit calm inshore water and finesse presentations, while heavier options (7-10 g) help you reach deeper structure or fish in stronger current.
