Williamson Raku Inchiku Pilkers

Raku means ‘easy' in Japanese, and these jigs certainly deliver on their name. Williamson Lures Raku jigs are set to follow in the footsteps of the popular Benthos and Abyss ranges of metal jigs from the same company.

More and more anglers are stopping off on a nice piece of bottom and doing a jig — butterfly jigging, that is. Williamson Lures recently offered up a new twist on the butterfly jig with its Raku Jig line. These flat-on-one-side jigs come with an extra octopus skirt to provide additional action.

These unique jigs fall into the ‘slow jig' category and can be fished in a variety of ways and environments. They are flat on one side, creating a seductive ‘flutter' mimicking a wounded baitfish as they drop through the water column, causing predatory species like snapper, blue cod, hapuka and kingfish to take notice.

Raku jigs come with a vibrant octopus skirt and tinsel flash that provide an irresistible action, plus a quality two-hook assist rig built to last.

Ranging in size from 2.5 to 7.5 ounces, the Raku Jig sinks fast and catches everything: small snappers, kingfish, giant groupers and tunas. They're perfect for drifting. Unlike most butterfly-style jigs, the Raku doesn't have to be worked until your arms fall off. The extra skirt provides plenty of action, either just dead-stick drifting or with a slow pumping motion of the rod. Raku means "easy” in Japanese, and these jigs certainly deliver on their name.

Williamson Raku Jigs are available in three sizes (60, 160 and 200 gram) and in six baitfish-profiled colours (black/silver, blue/pink/silver, chartreuse/glow, pink/glow, white and black/purple).
