Overview

The DEPS Hyper Football Jig is a uniquely evolved jig designed for targeting elusive, suspended big bass. This specialized football jig excels in a "straight swimming" retrieve, mimicking a vulnerable baitfish. This technique, which revolutionized the conventional rubber jig, has established an incredible track record of landing trophy-sized bass.

Its effectiveness has made it indispensable for big bass hunting in Lake Biwa and is now a go-to lure for securing big bass in ponds and reservoirs. Furthermore, its exceptional hook-up ratio and overall refinement have earned it widespread acclaim among Lake Biwa experts as a reaction jig in flat weed areas.

Key Features

The Hyper Football Jig boasts several key features that make it a standout performer:

• Swimming Action: The head's front face is designed to catch water, maintaining a horizontal posture during swimming. This design prevents excessive lift, making it ideal for long retrieves at a consistent depth. This presentation is highly effective for suspended, neutral fish that respond only to natural, horizontal movements, allowing the fine rubber skirt to flutter enticingly.
• Eye Position: The eye position is offset to the rear of the head's center, further enhancing the jig's horizontal swimming posture.

Head Design

The head design incorporates a front face that effectively resists water flow, minimizing lift. Simultaneously, it promotes enhanced skirt movement, making it perfect for mid-range swimming at a constant depth.

Hook and Trailer System

Featuring an extra-long shank hook designed to penetrate the upper jaw of big bass during the subtle takes common in mid-range swimming. The trailer hold wire ensures that even large swimbaits stay securely in place, even during a power cast.

Overview

The DEPS HUGE Buzzbait Type III is a pioneering lure designed specifically for targeting giant snakehead. As a buzzbait designed for Monster Hunting, the Type III features coaxial counter-rotating double props for superior straight-line tracking and quick start-up, allowing you to effectively target narrow, productive zones.

The unique splash and prop sound, created by the differently shaped front and rear props agitating the water with fine, air-filled bubbles, will captivate even the most wary of giant snakehead, leading to unforgettable battles.

Key Features

• Double Waver Prop: The coaxial, counter-rotating double props provide excellent straight-line tracking. Their distinctive shape churns the water, creating a sweet prop sound and splash filled with fine air bubbles. The squeak sound, a key attractant for buzzbaits, further enhances its fish-catching ability. The optimized start-up response allows for effective targeting of tight productive areas.

• Wire: The Φ1.4mm hardened stainless steel arm is built to withstand the immense power of monster fish. The arm length is carefully considered to provide both snag resistance and quick start-up. The arm design also ensures stable swimming posture and performance during fast retrieves.

• Closed Eye: Prevents deformation or breakage of the arm due to line slippage during intense fights. The closed eye design is essential for monster fish angling, where wire leaders and snaps are commonly used. It significantly reduces the risk of lower arm failure, ensuring you land your catch.

• Head Design: Based on the B Custom head, the head is lightweighted to 1/2oz for quick start-up with a unique balance setting. It generates a strong turbulent flow and maintains balance even during fast retrieves. Note: Use Φ4.8mm crystal eyes for eye repair. If the color is not in the lineup, use an alternative color.

• Hook: Equipped with a heavy wire, long shank #9/0 hook capable of withstanding the intense battles with fish exceeding 20kg.

• Skirt & Skirt Holder: Features a durable silicone flutter skirt that excels in water movement. A skirt holder is included, allowing you to add extra silicone skirts (sold separately) when increased skirt volume is desired. Due to the sharp teeth of monster fish, skirt damage is common, so it's recommended to keep spare skirts on hand.
