About this piece
The Jackson Athlete 12SSP is a 120mm sinking pencil designed specifically for flatfish fishing from shallow surf beaches. Its rear-weighted construction delivers exceptional casting distance comparable to metal jigs, enabling quick bottom contact and slow presentations without snagging.
Key features
- Rear-weighted design for stable flight and vertical drop on free fall
- 120mm length with 33g weight for long-distance casting
- Roll action at slow retrieve, transitioning to wobble-roll as speed increases
- Three-hook system (size #4) to pick up strikes from below
- Curved-fall with subtle rolling action when tensioned
Best for
- Surf-casting for flatfish (flounder, Japanese flathead)
- Slow bottom presentations on shallow, elongated beaches
- Targeting seabass and pelagic fish (yellowtail, bluefish) from shore
- Anglers requiring maximum distance from a sinking pencil lure
