About this lure
The Hayabusa Jack Eye Mame Makimaki is a downsized version of the popular Makimaki, engineered to keep the same “catch fish just by reeling” performance in a lighter, more finesse-focused profile. Carefully balanced to retain its proven action, it’s ideal for light jigging when fish want a smaller, easier target.
- Downsized Makimaki design – Maintains the original Makimaki action in a compact form
- Simple wind effectiveness – Produces fish-catching movement with just a steady retrieve
- Carefully balanced body – Fine-tuned to retain stability and action despite the smaller size
- Light-game focused – Perfect for finesse jigging and lighter tackle setups
- Wide light-species appeal – Suits kingfish, koheru, aji / jack mackerel and other light targets
- Easy-to-use jig – Ideal for anglers wanting consistent results without complex rod work
Whether you’re fishing harbours, inshore structure, or schooling fish, the Jack Eye Mame Makimaki delivers reliable action and bite-triggering appeal with minimal effort.
