Magbite Booty Shake 2″

Magbite Booty Shake 2″

Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing. When it comes to LRF (Light Rock Fishing) and finesse tactics, the Magbite Booty Shake 2″ is a proven performer that every dedicated angler should keep in their kit. Designed by the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) experts at Magbite, this lure is specifically engineered to target rock-dwelling species and harbour predators that respond to subtle, high-frequency vibrations.

The “Booty Shake” name refers to its unique tail action. The lure features a specially tapered, bulbous tail section that creates a distinctive, rhythmic “wobble” and shake during the retrieve—even at the slowest speeds. This motion is incredibly effective at mimicking tiny baitfish, larvae, or small crustaceans, making it an ideal choice for targeting Wrasse, Blennies, Gobies, and juvenile Pollack.

Where & How to Use It

The Booty Shake 2″ is all about technical finesse. Its compact size and unique tail action make it incredibly versatile for a variety of LRF presentations.

Proven Rigging & Techniques:

• The Micro-Jig Head (0.5g – 2.0g): This is the bread-and-butter of LRF fishing. Rig the Booty Shake on a light jig head and use a slow, steady retrieve. The tail will kick and shake with the slightest movement, creating a lure profile that fish find extremely difficult to ignore.

• The Drop-Shot Rig: Rigged on a size #8 or #10 finesse hook, the Booty Shake excels in vertical presentations. Because the tail is designed to vibrate at very low speeds, a simple “twitch-and-pause” motion with the rod tip sends pulses through the water that draw predators in from the surrounding structure.

• The “Dead-Stick” Method: In very clear, calm water, let the lure sink to the bottom near a rocky outcrop and simply leave it there. The slight current will cause the bulbous tail to jitter and pulse on its own—a presentation that often triggers the most cautious fish to strike.

💡 Pro Tip

Master the “Tail-Tweak.” Because the Booty Shake is molded from a very high-quality, supple plastic, you can “fine-tune” its action. If you find the fish are being incredibly picky, try using your fingers to slightly stretch and “thin out” the junction between the body and the bulbous tail. This makes the tail even more responsive, allowing it to “shake” at even slower retrieval speeds—often the key to getting a bite on a cold or sluggish day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bait scented?

Yes. Like all top-tier Magbite lures, the Booty Shake is heavily impregnated with a concentrated, salt-based fish attractant. This not only makes the lure more palatable to the fish (encouraging them to hold on after the strike), but the salt also adds a slight density, helping it sink naturally and cast better on ultra-light gear.

How does it compare to a standard curly-tail grub?

A standard curly-tail grub requires a certain amount of water resistance to get the tail to spin. The Booty Shake 2″ is designed differently—its “bulbous” tail shape allows it to pulse and shake with almost zero water resistance. This makes it significantly more effective when you are fishing at extremely slow speeds or in areas with very little current.

How should I store these to ensure they last?

To keep the Booty Shake in prime condition, always store them in their original resealable packaging. They are salt-impregnated, so the packaging is specifically designed to prevent the scent from evaporating and to keep the plastic supple. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or high heat, as this can cause the plastic to warp or “sweat” the attractant out, which will diminish the lure’s effectiveness over time.
