The Lucky John Stand Up use a hook with a straight shank, parallel to the pointing tip, a design, that emphasizes hooking.

Darting is a popular trend in soft bait fishing. Jerkbait-type silicone baits come into life, with sharp and constant jerks and twitches, that make them dart from side to side, as does a wounded, panicked bait fish. To do this fishing style right, we need conical shaped, hydrodynamic jig heads with the minimum resistance in the water.

Fish actively feed and, especially in the warmer months of the year, are particularly vulnerable to darting presentations. Shads usually have two issues: Tails are being cut off, either from smaller fish, or by this big predator that simply bites them off and then runs away. In addition, soft baits tend to slip away from the hook and they get unrigged, due to our jerks and twitches. In such a dynamic approach, the contribution of the metallic grips is vital to achieve the correct presentation of a silicon lure, as they lock our silicon lure onto the hooks body. That deters the lure to slip away, either during our retrieve, or due to small fish nibbling on it.

The Lucky John Stand Up use a hook with a straight shank, parallel to the pointing tip, a design, that emphasizes hooking. The gape of the hook, is wide so you can rig the silicone lure, without accidentally tearing its body. The round gape also offers another advantage and if the needle tip touches the mouth of fish even a little, you can instantly have a hook up.

Another feature of the Lucky John Stand Up is their stance when they are on the bottom, specifically the 45 angle they form, resulting in the tail of the silicone floating, like a small fish feeding.

The Lucky John Stand Up jighead has another important detail on the body of the hook and this is the spring-shaped wire, which “locks” our silicone onto the jig head. This solves the issue of slipping away during our rods commands, or of small fish that have a tendency to grab the tail of the silicone lures. Their purpose is to “lock” the silicone onto the jighead, not allowing it to slip away, so that small fish cannot detach it with frivolous pulls and pinches. The wire is truly necessary in such an intense and dynamic technique, in order for the silicone to remain in place and deliver a proper strike.

They are available in several sizes and will meet the needs of Light Rock Fishing and Heavy Rock Fishing enthusiasts.
