About this piece
The Buddy Works Off Bait is a 40g metal jig designed for flatfish (hirame/flounder) fishing, targeting areas that standard jigs can reach but with a slower, more controlled retrieve. Its center-balanced design allows it to rise on a medium-slow retrieve and produce a fluttering, swaying action similar to a sinking pencil bait, making it ideal for speed, range, and action-focused flatfish games.
Key features
- 40g weight and 68mm length for precise casting and controlled sink
- Center-balanced design enables slow rise and fluttering action
- Equipped with #8 front and #6 rear hooks
- Mimics a relaxed, unsuspecting baitfish to trigger flatfish strikes
Best for
- Flatfish (hirame, flounder) fishing in shallow to mid-depth waters
- Slow to medium-slow retrieves with a fluttering action
- Situations where a slower presentation than standard jigs is needed
