About this piece
The Jackall Honey Nugget is a 3.8-inch soft creature bait developed by pro angler Seiji Kato to entice suspended bass. Its unique design automatically creates a horizontal darting action after the sinker lands, maximizing the pause that triggers strikes. This versatile bait excels on a free rig or weightless Texas rig, and can also be used as a jig trailer or surface lure.
Key features
- Automatically shifts to a horizontal glide ("zero-tension dart") when the sinker hits bottom, extending the strike window.
- Ridge tail claws and bulky paddle arms produce a torque-filled vibration and act as a brake to alter posture.
- Flattened body with tail appendages designed to work wonders on free rigs and stopperless Texas rigs.
- Effective for vertically oriented cover like weeds, standing timber, and man-made structure where bass suspend.
- Also functions as a jig trailer or weightless topwater retrieve for added versatility.
- 5 baits per pack; recommended hook: offset #3/0–4/0.
Best for
- Targeting suspended bass around cover with free rig or Texas rig presentations.
- Slow free-fall situations where the bait's gliding action triggers neutral fish.
- Versatile use as a jig trailer or weightless surface lure when bass are active.
