About this piece
The Jackall DB UMA Free is a specialized soft bait optimized for free rig fishing, designed by pro angler Takuma Hata to maximize the action and speed variation advantages of the free rig. The 4.5-inch model features a high-density body that generates subtle rolling action on the fall, triggering predatory strikes. The bait's scissor arms and elongated leech tail create a lifelike profile and controlled glide, making it effective for both fast sink and slow fall presentations.
Key features
- Scissor arms on both sides generate rolling action and act as a brake to separate bait from sinker for extended free fall time
- Elongated leech tail transmits subtle vibrations to the tip while reducing silhouette to avoid spooking fish
- Deep-grooved ribs grip water on the fall to create vibration and control lateral movement
- High-density salt-loaded body provides self-weight sinking and spontaneous action for lifelike presence
- Available in two sizes (3.8" and 4.5") with different material hardness tuned for spinning vs. pitching applications
Best for
- Free rig fishing in open water and cover edges
- Texas rig, Carolina rig, no-sinker, and weighted hook swim presentations
- Targeting bass in clear to stained water where subtle action triggers finicky fish
