Yabai Jig YJ 40
After the long wait and only admiring the Yabai jigs through the Williamson catalogs,
the Yabai jigs finally arrived! Yabai - sounds like a rude swear word but it hardly is the
case. In actual fact, I was told that the word Yabai is a Japanese slang to describe
something awesome or nice, pretty much like how we say "Cool!" or "Wicked!" It looks
pretty cool and features 2 eyelets, each giving the lure a different action on the drop. For
vertical jigging, tie the line to the topmost eyelet while the center positioned eyelet will
create a slower, fluttering action on the drop. I would think the lure would be even more
attractive to the fish should the manufacturers have incorporated some crystal flash to the
skirts. According to the package, it comes in sizes of 65g, 100g, 150g and 200g. Features
tandem VMC hooks on kevlar below the skirts The 2 different positions for tying the line to
give a different action on the drop. Notice the aerodynamic "wings" on the sides of the head.
