Jackson Pin Tail Sagoshi Tune Lure

Sagoshi is the Japanese name for a young, Spanish mackerel, which is known to be a migratory fish, that can be easily targeted from breakwaters. In recent years, it has become very popular and Japanese anglers, who are fascinated by the Sagoshi game have been using existing lures, such as metal jigs and vibration lures.

Japanese anglers targeting Spanish Mackerels, when they use a lure with a regular action, such as a vibrating lure and retrieve it in a straight line, often witnessed cases where the fish will chase it to their feet, but give up in the end. Jackson was forced to face a dilemma. To create a lure that moves in a way that predators recognize it as food, or a lure that makes them reflexively use their mouth? The first option, is greatly influenced by the angler's technique and deviates from the notion, that any user can do this. As a result, Jackson focused on generating the latter type of reaction, making the fish use their mouth. From the moment the retrieve of the Pin Tail Sagoshi Tune commences, it releases a strong flashing, which happens in an irregular pattern, during regular wobbling action.

Jackson has developed the Pin Tail Sagoshi Tune specifically for fishing Spanish Mackerel (Sagoshi). In the Mediterranean, this species does no exist, however there are Pelagic predators, such Bonitos and Amberjack, which exhibit the same behavior, hence require a similar kind of fishing style.

The most distinctive feature of the Jackson Pin Tail Tune is its irregular action, that occurs automatically from the first retrieve. During its wobbling action, it releases strong flashing at a random pattern. This is due to the unique flat-sided, 3-sided flashing body, which strongly appeals to the Spanish Mackerel, which do not like shiny objects and respond with a reaction bite. Additionally, the Sagoshi are not good at moving up and down the water column. As a result, it cannot follow the vertical action of a lure and miss bites occur frequently, resulting in line breaks.

As a result, Jackson designed the Pin Tail Tune to induce reaction bites through its horizontal movement, within a certain depth range. In addition, its technical characteristics include an excellent balance and a wire-through construction, to increase its strength and make it tolerant to vicious attacks, even if the body gets severely damaged.
