Quick take
A soft PVC octopus lure with a sinking jig action, designed for ocean boat and rock fishing.
This 9.45-inch octopus skirt bait is a sinking jig-style lure in a brown finish, built from PVC with treble hooks. Anglers who fish for lingcod from a boat, rocky shore or beach can drop it to the bottom where those fish hold. Its soft body and skirt arms move with each rod lift and settle on the fall.
Best for
- Ocean boat fishing for bottom-dwelling species
- Rock and structure fishing in saltwater
- Vertical jigging in deeper water
Skip if
- You fish in freshwater or shallow areas
- You need a faster-sinking or topwater profile
Strengths
- Soft PVC body creates multi-point flex and lifelike movement
- 9.45 inch size targets larger saltwater fish
- Treble hook secures baitfish and reduces lost fish
Trade-offs
- Heavy weight at 280g requires substantial rod and reel
- Soft plastic body may not hold up to sharp rocks and shells
- Primarily an ocean fishing lure with limited versatility
