About this piece
The Buddy Works Henchman is a 42g casting jig with a compact 59mm length, designed for saltwater flatfish such as hirame (Japanese flounder). Its asymmetric top-to-bottom shape creates a tight-pitch, swim-like action on a straight retrieve, while the rear-heavy design delivers exceptional casting distance.
Key features
- Asymmetric body shape produces a tight-pitch swimming action on retrieve.
- Rear-weighted design maximizes casting distance for long-range presentations.
- Short, stout profile with reduced body height for a compact silhouette.
- Wide front surface bites water to generate action, tail releases water smoothly.
- Tail swing is deliberately suppressed to avoid spinning or blowout.
Best for
- Saltwater shore or boat fishing for hirame (Japanese flounder) and other flatfish.
- Scenarios where baitfish are small and a compact, heavy jig is needed.
- Retrieves at varying speeds, including fast winding without surface blowout.
