Jig: Shimano Shimmerfall

Shimano designed the SHIMMERFALL to sink fast and be easy for anglers to work. The jig’s slender design enables it to quickly cut through the water, making it ideal for jigging in deeper water or fishing in fast drift situations. The SHIMMERFALL’s design incorporates through-wire construction for added durability for increased confidence when fighting large game fish off the bottom. The SHIMMERFALL’s tapered edges make the jig come to life with proper action using little effort, so it’s sure to drive aggressive bites from bottom fish or pelagics alike.
