About this lure
The Yo-Zuri Takoyan is an innovative octopus jig designed to target structure-hugging cephalopods without the frustration of constant snagging. Built with a buoyant hard-plastic body and a detachable bottom-bouncing sinker, it hovers just above the seabed to entice strikes while navigating rocky New Zealand reefs and weed beds. Perfect for anglers looking to catch fresh octopus for the table or as prime bait for trophy Snapper and Kingfish, this lure combines a realistic shrimp profile with irresistible rubber skirts.
- Floating Body Design – Keeps the lure elevated above rocks and snags, reducing lost gear while maintaining an appealing posture.
- Realistic Shrimp Profile – Accurately mimics a natural food source to trigger aggressive feeding responses from wary octopus.
- Internal Rattle Chamber – Emits a continuous clicking sound that draws cephalopods out from deep crevices and thick kelp.
- Wavy Rubber Skirts – Replicates the subtle movements of shrimp legs, providing lifelike action even when the lure is at rest.
- Snagless Sinker System – Features a specially shaped sinker that taps the bottom while keeping the hooks safely out of trouble.
- Upward-Facing Hooks – Maximises hook-up rates on grasping tentacles while further preventing frustrating bottom snags.
