Light Game with Jackson Lures

There is something special with light lure fishing. Maybe it is the light rod, ultra thin lines and those small lures that look very cute almost like little toys. I enjoy all kind of fishing but once I get my hands on a light setup I enjoy hitting the water chasing garfish, horse mackerel and some rock fish.

Jackson has been under my radar after the introduction of the Pymgy Box series. The series is made of all the range of lures you need in a light approach: mini popper, mini minnow, pencil, vibration, shallow darter.

The prices are about right (800 YEN in Japan) and the quality is not bad. I have seen better made lures but for the price are above average.

The Shallow minnow and the Popper are the latest guys to join the family. I hope to get my hands on them soon. In the meantime check the videos below. The guy is having a blast with small barracudas and jacks. Light fishing is so fun!

Little Little Lures!

As a fan of lures and scale modeling I am always interested in ultra small lures. They look so tiny and cute and if they catch fish even better. Anyway, I own many small lures such as DUO Tetra Works, Lucky Craft Bevy series, Maria Pockets, Small Rapalas and so on.
Another company that has introduced some ultra light lures is Jackson. The new series is named Pygmy Box. It includes a small minnow, a darter ( I think) and small vibration type lipless minnow.The company has just revised the official webpage (look nice too) and more info will come soon.
In the meantime check this video where they catch some small barracudas from a port area.
More info is here (for now): Jackson Pygmy Box

Jackson Pin Tail E Z

Jackson Lures is another Japanese company that produces high quality lures. I especially like their "athlete" minnow series.
I found an interesting lure while browsing their website. It is named Pin Tail E Z and what strikes me is the high weight to length ratio. The small 9cm minnow weights 28 gr. and mounts heavy duty Owner St-56 trebles. The bib is robust and allows the minnow to dive deep.
It is ideal for fishing from shore.
