Jackson - Eddy 5g
Specifications
About this lure
A compact, sinking inline spinner that delivers reliable flash and vibration even on slower retrieves, ideal for freshwater anglers targeting trout, perch, and bass.
Its 32 mm body weighs 5 g with a #12 barbed treble hook and sinks steadily, keeping the lure in the strike zone around weedbeds, deep pools, or slow-moving runs. The asymmetrical, minnow-style body resists unwanted line twist while the freely spinning blade maintains polished flash and consistent vibration. Built with casting in mind, its compact profile offers good distance and accuracy off the rod tip.

How to fish the Jackson - Eddy 5g
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Eddy upstream or across current and retrieve at a steady, moderate pace to maintain blade rotation and vibration.
The 5 g weight sinks steadily, allowing you to work it through the strike zone around weedbeds, deep pools, and slow-moving runs without excessive depth.
Pair it with light spinning tackle (2-4 kg) for best feel and casting accuracy.
On slower retrieves, the blade continues to flash and vibrate reliably, making it effective for trout, perch, and bass in freshwater.
The asymmetrical body resists line twist, so you can fish it confidently for extended periods. Vary your retrieve speed and pause briefly to trigger strikes in holding lies.
