About this piece
The Buddy Works Henchman is a 42g, 59mm sinking jig designed for saltwater flatfish like flounder. Its asymmetric, compact body with a narrowed profile creates a tight-pitch wobbling action on the retrieve while reducing resistance and blowout at high speeds. The rear-heavy construction provides outstanding casting distance, and the compact size works well even when baitfish are small.
Key features
- Asymmetric, non-biased body shape produces tight-pitch swimming action
- Rear-weighted design for exceptional casting distance
- Narrowed body height channels water flow and reduces tail thrashing
- Wide front catches water to initiate action while tail releases it
- Comfortable retrieve resistance with reduced blowout on fast retrieves
Best for
- Surf and saltwater bottom fishing for flounder (hirame)
- Situations requiring long casts with a compact, heavy jig
- Targeting suspended fish when baitfish are small
- Slow to medium retrieves with tight-action presentation
