The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jigs are a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of jigging techniques. When using this jig, anglers let it descend to the target depth or down to the sea floor, then reel it upward about 30 feet before freeing the spool again. Alternatively, you can also cast the jig to allow it to sink naturally. Patience is key; after detecting a bite, impart a sharp twitch to the rod and continue the action. What differentiates this jig from traditional Butterfly jigs is its center balanced jig structure. This design contributes to a wobbling descent in a horizontal orientation, which keeps the jig within the fish's strike zone for an extended time. The hydrodynamic flat keel design enhances this characteristic, and the jig is optimally weighted to flatten as it falls.
To further improve the catching potential, Shimano has equipped the Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig with premium components:
- Distinct Horizontal Fall: Its design ensures that the jig falls with a fluttering, wobbling action rather than sinking headfirst, increasing its attraction to fish while descending through the water column.
- Two Owner Dancing Stinger hooks: Included are two top-quality Owner dancing stinger hooks with PowerPro 250lb. assistance to secure your catch firmly.
- Hydrodynamic Flat Keel Design: This innovative design allows for the unique falling action and stabilizes the jig when it is retrieved, as well as on the drop.
- Center Balanced: It brings the jig back to a horizontal position quickly after each jerk, maintaining its visibility and enticing movement to the target species.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best way to use the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig?
A: The optimal technique for the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig is to alternate between sinking it to the desired depth and then retrieving it partially, or to cast and let it sink under its own weight. Waiting for a strike is crucial; upon feeling a bite, snap the rod tip to engage the fish and then repeat the process for continued action.
Q: What makes the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig different from regular Butterfly jigs?
A: Unlike standard Butterfly jigs that may sink rapidly and more vertically, the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig retains a horizontal fall thanks to its distinctive center balance. This enhances its wobbling action and allows it to remain in the fish's strike zone longer.
Q: Does the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig come with hooks?
A: Yes, it comes equipped with robust Owner dancing stinger hooks that are coupled with PowerPro 250lb. assist line, ensuring that the jig is ready to fish right out of the package.
Q: How does the center balanced design of the Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig help?
A: The center balanced feature ensures that the jig settles in a horizontal position when it falls, which mimics the natural movement of prey and makes it more enticing to predatory fish. It also allows for a more controlled and predictable retrieve.
