About this lure
The Jack Eye Kunekune is a super versatile little jig that punches well above its weight. Available in 20g, 30g, 40g, and 60g, it's right at home whether you're slow-pitch jigging from the boat or casting off the beach or rocks.
Its asymmetrical body gives it a deadly flutter on the drop and a tight wobble on the wind—perfect for tempting hungry snapper, gurnard mooching along the bottom, or even trevally and kahawai smashing bait near the surface. Pre-rigged with twin assist hooks and a subtle tail skirt, it's ready to fish straight out of the pack and helps avoid snags in rough ground.
Why It Works So Well
- Four sizes to suit different depths and conditions
- Cast it, jig it — up to you
- Killer wounded-baitfish action
- Pre-rigged with durable twin assist hooks
- Built tough for saltwater use
