About this piece
The Jackall Anchovy Metal Type-3 is a slender metal jig crafted for vertical jigging in challenging conditions. Its cylindrical body creates minimal water resistance on the retrieve, allowing a subtle, no-action ascent that won't alarm wary predators. The real magic happens on the drop: an intentional slide fall triggers violent reaction strikes from fish like cutlassfish (tachiuo) that have followed the lure up.
Key features
- Slim cylinder body: 360-degree symmetrical shape reduces drag and refuses to spook pressured fish.
- No-action retrieve: minimal wobble even during rotation, keeping the presentation natural and unthreatening.
- Slide fall: upon releasing the clutch, the jig tumbles with a tricky, darting action that incites instinctive bites.
- Eye sticker: weight printed inside the eye for fast identification and efficient jig rotation.
- Built for tough conditions: excels when fish are finicky and standard jigs fail to produce.
Best for
- Vertical jigging for cutlassfish and other saltwater species in deep water.
- Situations where fish are heavily pressured or in negative moods.
- Anglers needing a subtle, slow-action approach to trigger reaction strikes.
