Sakura Loujig ZN – 62mm 20g

Sakura Loujig ZN – 62mm 20g

The Micro-Jigging Specialist – Stealthy Action for Finesse Predators

The Sakura Loujig ZN 20g is the smallest and most “finesse” oriented model in the Loujig range. At just 62mm, it is the perfect imitation of “whitebait”—the tiny anchovies and sardines that predators often become obsessed with during the summer months. Despite its small stature, the 20g weight provides surprising casting distance on light gear, making it a favorite for “Street Fishing” and light rock fishing (LRF) enthusiasts.

Constructed from Zinc Alloy (0% Lead), this jig is not only environmentally friendly but technically superior for shallow-water applications. Zinc’s lower density gives this 20g lure a larger volume than a lead equivalent, resulting in a much more pronounced, slower “butterfly” flutter on the sink—staying in the strike zone longer than any lead jig could.

Key Specifications

Technical Highlights

• Optimal “Butterfly” Fall: The asymmetrical geometry is the core of the Loujig’s success. When you pause your retrieve, the 62mm body tumbles horizontally with a high-frequency flash. The 20g Zinc body provides the perfect balance of weight for casting and “buoyancy” for a slow, seductive fluttering descent.

• Laser-Sharp Aesthetics: Equipped with high-definition laser decoration and holographic film, the 20g model produces a “micro-flash” that is highly effective in clear water. The UV-reactive paint ensures the lure pops even in the ultraviolet light spectrum, which fish see much more clearly than humans.

• Tough Zinc Shell: Unlike soft lead jigs that deform and lose their paint when they hit rocks, the Zinc Alloy is remarkably hard. The reinforced varnish acts as an extra layer of armor, preserving the lure’s finish during aggressive “bottom-tapping” sessions.

• Versatile Animation:

  • High-Speed Burn: On a fast, steady retrieve, it vibrates with a tight oscillating sway, perfect for Mackerel and Scad.

  • Slow-Pitch Style: Using short, soft lifts of the rod tip, it darts erratically like a tiny fry in distress.

Where & How to Use It

• Light Coastal Fishing: The 20g weight is the perfect match for Medium-Light (ML) or Medium (M) rods. It is the ultimate tool for targeting Sea Bass, Perch, and Horse Mackerel in harbors, estuaries, and from the beach.

• Summer “Boil” Hunting: When you see small fish jumping at the surface, cast the Loujig 20g right into the middle. Its small profile matches the hatch perfectly, preventing the fish from becoming “suspicious.”

• Freshwater Multi-Species: Don’t limit this to the sea! The 20g Loujig is an incredible lure for large Perch, Asp, and even Trout in deep lake sections or fast-flowing rivers.

• Deep Harbor Vertical: Drop it straight down bridge pilings or harbor walls. The slow, fluttering fall is irresistible to fish hiding in the shadows.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“The 62mm 20g is my ‘match the hatch’ secret weapon. When the Bass are feeding on tiny fry and won’t look at anything else, this is the one. I highly recommend using a 7′ or 7’6″ Medium-Light Sakura Ryokan rod with PE 0.8 or 1.0 braid. Because this jig is so light and fluttery, I often swap the rear treble for a single Sakura Assist Hook on the front. This makes it almost snag-proof and gives it a much more aggressive ‘kick’ when you twitch it
