Quick take
Japanese sinking minnow with riser lip for long-range casting on shallow structure.
The Jackall 008 is a 3.1-inch, 0.8-ounce sinking minnow built around a riser lip that lifts it toward the surface on a steady retrieve. The Fusion Gigo finish is a practical pick for anglers working sea bass and other bass-sized targets along shorelines and rivers. An SP-MH #6 hook is fitted, so it is ready to tie on and fish.
Best for
- Saltwater striped bass and small pelagics
- Shore fishing with long casts
- Shallow water with baitfish activity
Skip if
- You need a floating or suspending plug
- You fish freshwater
Strengths
- Riser lip allows longer casts than standard topwater lures
- Sinking action works on pause and retrieve
- Heavy body at 0.8 oz planes quickly
Trade-offs

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
