Sakura Mister Joe 80 S – 80mm 12.5g

The Legendary Sinking Stickbait – The Ultimate Predator Magnet

The Sakura Mister Joe 80 S is the rattling counterpart to the Silent version and arguably one of the most famous sinking stickbaits in the world. Developed alongside the renowned angler Éric Le Guyader, this 12.5g lure is designed to master the subsurface layer (0 to 2 meters). It is the perfect solution for those frustrating moments when predators are following surface lures but refuse to break the surface to strike.

Unlike standard stickbaits, the Mister Joe features internal stainless steel weights and pierced rattling balls that emit a unique, “crystal-clear” high-frequency sound. This acoustic signal, combined with its erratic swimming action, makes it an indispensable tool for both saltwater and freshwater anglers across the globe.

Technical Highlights

Underwater “Walking the Dog”: While most stickbaits walk on the surface, the Mister Joe 80 S is designed to perform the same zig-zagging action under the water. A few sharp twitches of the rod tip will make it dart erratically, imitating a panicked baitfish.
Sinusoidal Retrieval: On a slow, steady retrieve, the lure adopts a graceful S-shaped (sinusoidal) swimming motion. This natural, fluid movement is incredibly effective for wary fish like Asp or large Perch.
Targeted “Eye” Signal: Sakura has designed this lure with an oversized, realistic eye. This serves as a “strike point,” giving predators a clear target to aim for, which significantly increases your hook-up ratio.
Variable Depth Control: Because it is a sinking lure, you are in total control. Cast it out and let it sink to your desired depth (counting it down) before beginning your retrieve. It will maintain its swimming action in that specific water layer.

Where & How to Use It

The Asp Specialist: The 80mm size is legendary among European Asp anglers. Its density allows for massive casts to reach fish breaking in the middle of large rivers, while the high-speed “walking” action triggers their aggressive nature.
Saltwater Versatility: A must-have for Sea Bass and small Bluefish. Use it when the water is too choppy for a surface popper; the Mister Joe will stay just under the waves where the fish are actively hunting.
Freshwater Giants: Don’t let the size fool you—this lure is strong enough for Pike and even tropical freshwater species like Peacock Bass and Aymara.
The “Reaction” Drop: On the sink, the Mister Joe has a subtle shimmy. If you see fish on the sonar at a specific depth, drop the lure through them and be ready for a hit on the “fall.”

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“The 80 S version is my ‘secret weapon’ for when the wind picks up. That extra 0.5g over the Silent version and the internal rattles help it ‘cut’ through the surface noise. If you’re targeting Asp, retrieve it as fast as you possibly can with occasional micro-pauses. If you’re targeting Bass, slow it down and let it ‘hunt’ in that S-pattern. Since it doesn’t have the full wire frame of its 105mm big brother, it’s a true finesse tool—pair it with a Sakura Ryokan Medium (M) rod for the ultimate experience
