Frequently Asked Questions
IS THIS A SLOW PITCH JIG?
Absolutely—it’s weighted and balanced for slow pitch jigging with precise flutter and vertical control.
WHAT MAKES THE GRIM PILCHARD COLOR EFFECTIVE?
Pilchards are the most common forage fish in nearshore and offshore waters. This pattern matches what predators eat every single day—no learning curve, just instant recognition and commitment.
HOW SHOULD I RIG IT?
Rig it from the tail to get a sharp, head-first dart and flutter. That motion mimics a fleeing baitfish in real danger.
WHAT SIZE SHOULD I FISH?
Use 100g for shallow reefs, 150g for mid-depth structure, and 200g–300g for deeper wrecks and high current. Adjust based on depth and drift speed.
