About this piece
The Jackson Metal Effect Stay Fall is a specialized metal jig designed to create a deliberate pause in the water column, even without slack line, to trigger strikes from hesitant fish. Its unique side recesses trap water, causing the jig to momentarily suspend during the fall, while a slightly rear-weighted balance ensures excellent casting distance and a horizontal fall posture.
Key features
- Side recesses create a momentary pause in the water column for a natural feeding trigger.
- Rear-weighted balance for long casts and stable flight.
- Horizontal fall posture maximizes the jig's inherent action.
- Designed for the "Black Panther Jerk" technique: three jerks, three reel turns, then pause.
Best for
- Saltwater jigging for species like sea bass, rockfish, and flatfish.
- Situations requiring a slow, enticing fall to trigger finicky fish.
- Anglers who employ a controlled jerk-and-pause retrieve.
