About this piece
The Rudie's Sakana Ko Metal is a tiny soft plastic lure weighing just 1.5 grams, designed for ultra-light fishing with ester line or fine PE braid. Its small silhouette allows anglers to reach areas that are inaccessible with standard jigheads, and it can entice bites from fish that would otherwise ignore larger offerings. While primarily targeting aji (Japanese horse mackerel), it is effective on a variety of species.
