About this lure

The Ocean Angler Slug is a robust metal casting jig designed to deliver exceptional casting distance and reliable performance in harsh New Zealand conditions. Built with a tough, UV-reflective finish and armed with a heavy-duty treble hook, this metal lure is perfect for shore casting or vertical dropping. Whether you are targeting Kingfish and Kahawai off the rocks or dropping down for live baits like jack mackerel, these slugs offer unparalleled versatility for local anglers.

Long-Casting Profile – Aerodynamic metal construction ensures maximum casting distance from the shore or boat.
UV-Reflective Finish – Enhances visibility in deep water and low-light conditions to trigger aggressive strikes.
Versatile Application – Highly effective for fast shore retrieves or vertical dropping over deep reefs.
Heavy-Duty Treble Hook – Pre-rigged with a high-quality treble hook designed to secure powerful pelagics like Kingfish.
Live Bait Gathering – Smaller sizes are proven performers for catching jack mackerel and blue koheru for the live bait tank.

How to work it

Cast the Slug from shore or boat and retrieve with a steady, medium-paced strip to work the metal body through the water column. The aerodynamic profile delivers excellent casting distance, making it ideal for reaching distant structure.

For vertical work, drop the jig to depth and use sharp lifts and pauses to create flash and trigger strikes from pelagics holding on reefs.

Lighter weights (6-10 g) suit fast shore retrieves and live bait gathering; heavier weights (40-80 g) excel at vertical dropping in deeper water or strong current.
