Shimano Lucanus Jigs

Available Now!

In 2005 Shimano introduced the butterfly jigging system to anglers in the U.S. which resulted in an overabundance of excitement from consumers, dealers and editorial content from saltwater publications throughout the United States and Mexico, and continues to grow with excitement as the line grows with flat-side jigs and trevala rods.

In 2008, Shimano brings a new level of excitement to the fishing industry for experts to novices and everyone in between with the introduction of Lucanus Jig. An exciting style of bottom fishing using a slow up and down motion, which uses light tackle. The fish bites are visible and offers exhilaration to the angler. The system allows for effective cold season fishing, giving anglers the opportunity to fish every season in every region.

5 Step Technique for Shimano Lucanus Jigs:

1. Drop the jig to the bottom

2. Start winding very slowly

Initial bites are invisible to the rod because the fish is pulling on the skirt and the trailer.

3. Move the jig through the desired water column

Do not try to set the hook with the first few bites. Keep reeling until the fish hook themselves. Lift the rod slightly to make sure the hook is set.

4. Drop the jig again

5. Repeat this several times
