A 20g short metal jig with Japanese assist hook and treble, renowned for superior casting distance and versatility.

The Major Craft Jigpara Short is a 20-gram metal jig built for saltwater anglers after mackerel, striped bass and tuna. It comes rigged with a Japanese single assist hook with tinsel and a Japanese treble hook, so it is ready to tie on and cast. At about 0.7 ounces, it gives anglers a compact metal jig in a single weight.

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.
