HTO Slow Jig – 60g 80mm

HTO Slow Jig – 60g – 80mm

Product Details and Uses

The HTO Slow Jig has revolutionized vertical fishing, and the 60g model is the ultimate tool for light-tackle enthusiasts. Its compact, flat, bullet-shaped profile ensures it still sinks vertically and reaches the bottom quickly, even in a light breeze. This is the jig you reach for when the water is clear, the sun is bright, and you need a smaller, more natural baitfish profile to trigger a strike.

Unlike heavy, aggressive “speed jigs,” the HTO Slow Jig is designed to be worked with slow, rhythmic lifts of the rod. The 80mm body is slightly contoured to create a frantic, side-on “flutter” as it falls. Combined with high-quality holographic patterns, this jig mimics a small, wounded baitfish perfectly. Despite its small size, it has been responsible for catching a massive variety of UK species—everything from hard-fighting Bass and Pollack to colorful Wrasse and Gurnards.

Why the 60g HTO Slow Jig is a Modern Essential

• Ultra-Finesse Profile: At just 80mm, this jig offers a tiny, non-threatening silhouette—perfect when predators are dialed in on “pin-head” baitfish or small sandeels.

• Maximum “Float” & Flutter: The light 60g weight gives the jig an incredible amount of “hang-time,” allowing it to drift and vibrate enticingly through the water column.

• High-Definition Holographics: Advanced light-reflecting patterns ensure that even this small lure is easily spotted by predators in the depths.

• Vertical Accuracy: The streamlined bullet shape ensures it cuts through the surface quickly, hitting your target mark with precision.

• Proven Species Magnet: From specimen Bass to hard-fighting bottom dwellers, this little jig punches well above its weight class.

Examples of Where to Use the 60g Slow Jig

• Shallow Inshore Reefs: Perfect for depths between 15ft and 45ft where you want to maintain total control and “feel” through a light rod.

• Slack Tide Sessions: When the tidal flow stops, heavier jigs can look unnatural. The 60g model offers a much more lifelike, “weightless” movement.

• LRF & Kayak Fishing: A favorite for Light Rock Fishing (LRF) boat sessions and kayak anglers who need a lure that is heavy enough to reach the bottom but won’t “over-power” light lure rods.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

To get the most out of the 60g version, you really need to use a very thin, high-quality braid (PE 0.6 to 1.0 is ideal). This minimizes “line drag” and allows this light jig to dance properly. When you lift the rod and drop the tip, do it quickly so the line goes momentarily slack—this “releases” the jig to kick sideways and flutter. Please Note: These jigs are supplied without hooks. We highly recommend rigging them with a single size 1 or 1/0 HTO Assist Hook at the top eye only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Can I cast this jig from the shore? While designed for vertical jigging, the 60g weight is castable on heavy spinning gear. However, its flat shape means it’s much better suited for vertical “sink and draw” work from a boat, kayak, or pier.

• What size Assist Hook is best for the 80mm body? A size 1 HTO Assist Hook is usually the perfect match for this size. You want the hook to sit roughly 1/3rd of the way down the jig body to avoid tangling with the tail.

• Is 60g too light for deep water? In depths over 60ft or during a strong tide, a 60g jig will likely get swept away. In those conditions, we recommend stepping up to the 100g or 120g versions.

• Are these jigs saltwater resistant? Absolutely. They feature a durable, marine-grade finish. To keep the holographic sparkle at its best, always give them a quick rinse in fresh water after your session
