80g ‘Skwiz’ Rigged Jigs
Skwiz Jigs: The Skwiz jig gets its name due to its highly frantic action. Sporting a combination of erratic fluttering, twirling and darting on both the rise and fall. Perfectly mimicking a skittish fleeing bait fish. Due to their wild action, we have found a combination of slow pitching to a more aggressive rod action to be very effective in enticing the fish to chew hard on the Skwiz. With a flat streamline bottom weighted profile, they have a medium fall speed and work most effectively in low to medium current conditions. Up here in the north we have found Skwiz jigs to work an absolute treat at rousing up shutdown bottom dwelling species such as reds, nannys and trout as well as pelagic species on a faster retrieve. Being such a versatile jig, the Skwiz is a must have to any jig collection. These have been rigged with our 5/0 Overkill assist hooks and lumo octo skirts. These assist hooks are built tough with broad gauge wire and large barbs, set up for large trophy fish and ready for those big pelagics that like to whack these jigs on the way up. A very popular jig amongst anglers using slow pitch and deep drop techniques.
