SEAFLOOR CONTROL Saltwater Slow Pitch Jigging Lure CRANKY 90g Alu S. Zebra Glow

CRANKY is a fall jig with different irregular falling actions, designed by Norihiro Sato himself. Unlike Gawky, it’s also very responsive to uplifts. Even though it doesn’t slide to the side at the pitch, Cranky follows lightly to uplifts and lies on its side quickly for all the falling actions to follow. Irregular falling actions automatically perform “the change of pace” that triggers the fish to react. It’s nice to make many small hesitating uplifts to the top and then let it fall all the way down. It’s fast to drop, making this jig very effective in strong currents and complex currents. This is still a new product and heavy weights have not been in production yet. The heavy weights have been very much longed for by many deep sea jiggers.
Features:
Subtly shifting position on the falling action.A feather lightness up-lifting feeling and stay as you want.
Two edges on the front reduce heawiness of water resistance.It act irregular falling action on every drop.

Lure weight:90g
Lure length:90mm

How to use SEAFLOOR CONTROL Jigs? 

Lift the rod and turn the reel so that the rod bends nicely and gives smooth upward acceleration to the jig. This is called one pitch and can be 1 turn, 1/2 turn or 1/4 turn of the reel.  
The rod lift should start with rod tip down angled at 30 degrees to almost upright position. You can also vary the angle. If you keep the rod up-angled, the spring-up is stronger and the jig movement is more energetic. 
When you reach upright position wait the rod spring back up the tip and release the tension. The jig gets free and is carried by the momentum so this movement is performed differently by the type of jig. Some jigs slide to the side, some twirl, some suspend, lie on its side and fall. When the tension is released the center-balanced jig go in a horizontal position and this and the fall are the best moments for the fish to bite.
The fish targets the head or front of the motion so if it bites during the sliding of the jig it is likely to get hooked by the top hooks. If it bites during the fall it is likely to get hooked by the tail hooks.
Do not turn the reel while lowering your rod and it is important to focus on the tension of your line during the fall. You can perform a free fall or tension fall depending on the type of fish or the pattern of the day.
Pick up the jig by reeling just before you feel the jig weight at the rod tip. The timing is important and if you do not give enough time and you do not feel the jig weight it means that you canceled the falling and the next pitch is very weak. If you give too much time you are hanging the jig on the line and the jig is dead.
If during the falling you see the line slack for a longer time, it is very likely that a fish took the jig. Reel in until you feel a weight on the rod tip and if it moves hit it.
To land the fish keep your rod down and reel in steadily. The slow pitch jigging rods are made to hook fish not to land the fish. Let your reel land the fish and use the reel drag to do the job.
