Shimano JLC080 80g/3oz Lucanus Jig Lures

I'm a kayak fisherman, targeting shallow water reefs in Cabo. The Lucanus jig is my secret weapon, especially in chartreuse. It works great for catching Cabrilla and Pargo. Don't know why they prefer chartreuse but that's been the hot ticket for me.

Love this bait. Benn using it for years to land monster Trigger and Red Snapper in the Gulf. It's amazing that this bait has an almost 100% hook up percentage. Purchase the extra hooks because those Trigger fish will eventually break through the braid that holds the hooks and trust me, you don't want to stop using this bait because you are missing a hook.

Headline says it all

Haven't been able to get out on to Monterey Bay yet due to wind but my buddy used one last year dropped three times and hooked up on ling cod each drop. Good back up if you can't find any live bait.

Very good design and quality , waiting for testing it

A great jig for fishing northern California bottom structure. Black rockfish and cabezon love these jigs. Big lings too

The Lucanus jig is a great jig for bottom fishing. It doesn't get hung up in the rocks too easily because of the small footprint and the hooks more on top of the jig. The 5-1/4 oz jig has the large assist hooks so fish stick, on the small size jigs I had to change out the hooks.

I purchased these for catching rockfish and lingcod. I would never had thought it would produce so well on halibut. I found this out while fishing in 120' of water. At the edge of a rock pile. (where the rock met the sand. We started hooking halibut as we came off the rock. We decided to extend our drift, and it worked on every drift. Rockfish & ling to the edge of the rocks and halibut after. Great lures.

caught big size sculpins with this jig.

I caught sand bass, calico bass and sculpins with these jigs. I used light colors when the water is dull/dark and early morning but darker colors [red-brown] when the sun is up. Somehow it produces bigger fish than other jigs.

Works great when fishing with rock fish and lingcods.

great for fluke and seabass.

Lucanus is domething totally new. To me. I stil don't fiquare out how to fish this but sometime the fush csme up with it.

I like this jig. but I can catch just as many Black Sea bass with less expensive bucktail jigs.

great for slow and speed jigging

Works great for a lot species

Works perfectly & relatively few snags. The most important aspect that needs attention is the fishing rod that needs to be very sensitive so as not to miss any bites.

Strange looking lure catches fish. small hook dress with little squud strip also very efdective.. I experience less snagging than treble hook

Shimano, Nuff said. Great finish,fishes well.

Fish catching machine! Great on multiple species, but big reds and flounder especially love them.

Odd looking beasts, but the Luncanus jigs catch fish! Black Sea Bass really like these, especially anything with chartreuse in the color. Way too expensive, and when you are over the reefs/wrecks, you're going to lose tackle, so these are tough to buy at such an expensive cost. But they work....

Love this jig. Within minutes of hitting bottom and start jigging, it was FISH ON! Rockfish love this thing. Hit limits within a short amt of time. I only gave it 4 stars because it's is a pricey jig, especially if you get a snag, lose it and have to replace it. Take good care of it, and it'll be fish on every time.

It works! Actually, It attracts rock cods like crazy in a normal cloudy/half sun san francisco bay weather. And you may catch your limit with in an hour once you master the technique which is not hard either. Just drop it in the water, retrieve a couple feet and let it drop again..boom, there is your catch. And the best thing is, it gives your more fun than shrimp fly or squid bait on those party boats.

This Is one of those things that just WORKS. I don't know why but every year in Port Philip Bay in Victoria the Shimano Lucanus jigs are out and constantly catching good fish! Sometimes while using the Lucanus jig I find it even out fishes bait. I like to let it hit the bottom, Give the reel 3 winds then just lift the rod tip towards the horizon then point the rod tip back down toward the water and the jig will just flutter down. The fish seem to love this jig but be carefull as the hooks are sticky sharp as I found out the hard way, They are of the assist style and they work too good!

It's very efficient fishing in low speed sea currents... I've used it on about 200ft od depth, without aditional rig. Just touch the ground, reel about 9ft and get the bite... The only negative is about the skirts, it is almost totally ripped out after 3 fishes... need to be constantly replaced... Fishing redfish. about 4lbs

I have used this jig mainly for rockfish after making a few adjustment. I live in and fish in northern California and fish in two areas for rock fish Pt. Sur and Half Moon Bay. In both areas I have been successful with this lure. I found two colors that seem to work better than all of the others Chartreuse/white and Dungeness Crab. Both lures a track Ling Cod and other rock fish I use the 200g size since we are fishing in 200 ft of water most of the time. In Half Moon Bay the water is shallower and I drift the lure bouncing off the rocks making sure to pop it quickly to keep from hanging up and found this method to be very productive in both area's it can be fish vertically tip with a little strip of squid. This area also seem to be less sensitive on color. I'm very satisfied with this product and have started investigating the use of the smaller sizes. I would recommend this lure to others if you can afford losing one every now in then, remember "rock fishing".

It really works and sinks much faster than regular rig set. It is a brand new way to catch rockfish and lingcod.

this is the lure i am most excited to use this season, finish on it is amazing, skirts might get destroyed easily so i will be ordering a pack. but overall this looks like a fish catching machine.

Working very well on sea bass. I might need to get bigger hooks to target grouper.

Can't wait to drop these down and hopefully pull up a tilefish or grouper.

These jigs perform great! It's like crack for lings!

This is a cool addition to bottom fishing arsenal . I use them off OR coast on rocks and lings and are pretty fun on light tackle.

I am not a fisherman but my son and my two grandsons are. My grandson picked this out and I am sure he will get a lot of use during fishing season.

Slow day of fishing only got 1 fish off lure

works good

sea bass and fluke love them

V gooood

Well constructed quality Jig. Simple to use, drop out the back of boat and either let the motion of the boat provide action to the Jig or apply light jigging action. I often use this jig on a second line and let the rocking of the boat provide the action whilst I take manual control of the main line. The hooks look small but appear to hook relatively large fish with the occasional double hook-up.

This jig have a great visual and good movement. Very versatile.

great jig

pretty cool desighn

This is probably the nicest performed squid I've seen. I can not understand again why you put so small hooks, but these are very easy to change and they could not also just do it in a size 16-18 oz then I would be happy.

I bought one of these to try and oh my god, this may be the best bottom lure ever made, grouper slam this thing, good for snappers too.

Awesome Jig Works Great!
