About this lure
The Hayabusa Jack Eye Kick Bottom Power Hook is a highly effective inchiku-style jig designed to dominate New Zealand's bottom-dwelling species. Built with a unique diamond-shaped body and a flat surface that extends from head to tail, this lure creates two distinct current flows in the water, resulting in an erratic helical action that mimics a wounded baitfish or small squid. Its specialized profile allows it to sink quickly to the strike zone, making it a top choice for targeting Snapper, Kingfish, and other reef predators in deeper waters.
- Inchiku Hybrid Design – Combines a weighted metal jig body with a soft rubber squid skirt to trigger aggressive strikes from bottom feeders like Snapper.
- Multi-Faceted Flash – Features a transparent crystal bead and holographic finish that reflects available light to attract predators even in low-light conditions.
- Versatile Retrieve – effectively triggers bites with a simple slow wind or a lift-and-drop technique, requiring minimal angler effort to impart life-like action.
- Heavy-Duty Hardware – Pre-rigged with powerful Japanese assist hooks (Size 2/0) designed to withstand the crushing jaw pressure of large reef fish.
- Targeted Weight System – The bottom-weighted profile ensures the lure reaches the seabed rapidly, keeping your presentation in the feeding zone for longer.
How to fish the Hayabusa - Jack Eye Kick Bottom Power Hook
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Jack Eye Kick Bottom to your target depth (10-30 m) and allow it to sink on a controlled drop. Work it with a slow, steady wind or use a lift-and-drop technique-raise the rod tip sharply, then let it flutter back on slack line.
The diamond-shaped body and flat surfaces create an erratic helical action that mimics wounded baitfish or squid, triggering strikes from bottom-dwelling species.
Target Snapper, Kingfish, Gurnard, and Trevally around reefs and rough ground. The fast-sinking profile gets you to the strike zone quickly in deeper water.
Pair with a sensitive braid main line to feel the lure's action and detect subtle takes. The pre-rigged assist hooks are sized to handle powerful reef predators.
