El mejor micro jig del mercado

Cuando diseñamos The Squirt, ya sabíamos lo que queríamos: la fusión perfecta de un jig de cuchillo con un aleteo que llama la atención en la caída. ¿Pero el ingrediente secreto? Un acabado holográfico con el brillo justo. Añadimos dos anzuelos BKK 2/0 para asegurarnos de que se pegaran, porque sabemos lo que devora a estos pequeños. Después lo condimentamos con un poco de brillo adicional y una falda de calamar brillante en un anzuelo, lo suficiente para llamar la atención sin ralentizar esa caída crucial.

Como todo lo que hacemos, The Squirt pasó por nuestro proceso completo de prueba Dirty Tackle. Pasó por nuestro equipo de pescadores incondicionales para recibir comentarios, ajustes y perfeccionamientos. Estamos encantados de que pruebes esta belleza y sientas la emoción del micro jigging en su máxima expresión.

Trevally with a Micro Jig

Micro Jigging

You know the scene: hauling in a solid fish, only to see it dump a pile of half-digested baitfish on your deck. That’s what inspired The Squirt - built to dart and flick like a wounded baitfish, practically begging to be eaten. This is why micro jigs are on everyone’s line.

What is a Micro jig

We would class anything up to around 40 grams a micro jig, and the profile leaning more towards a knife jig than a slow pitch jig. Being on the lighter side, a straighter profile will get you down easier in deeper water and in areas of higher current. If you are able to fish deeper, it gives you a lot more options to catch a wider variety of species. In my opinion The Squirt from Dirty Tackle is best combination  weight, profile and quality hardware. The addition of a lumo squid skirt is the icing on the cake.

How to use Micro jigs

Being a smaller bait fish profile, micro jigs have a style of their own. After trying the ‘lift and drop’ technique of a slow pitch jig and the faster ‘lifting retrieve’ of a knife jig, we found what worked the best was a slow wind with a nice little twitch. Making the lure dance around like a scared or wounded baitfish is irresistible to any predator who is after an easy feed. If you fish close to the bottom, you’ll find bringing the lure up not too far out of the strike zone, and then dropping it back to the bottom is what works best. If the sounder shows mid-water fish, then bring your jig up higher before dropping it again. Using a micro jig with a lit up sounder screen is some of the most exciting fishing there is.

Where to use Micro jigs

When using smaller jigs in shallower water around coastal and island headlands, rocky outcrops and coral reefs, you will soon find how effective micro jigs are. The variety of fish species a micro jig attracts is amazing, and as you move deeper, the fishing will only get better. Fishing out wider and hitting the bottom in 40-60 meters will get you quality reef fish. As the lure is brought up further, you’ll find those mid-water species like Trevally, Rusty Jobfish, Goldband Snapper and big Amberjack love them as well.  If there are Mackerel around, a fast retrieval will
