Major Craft First Jig 120g: The Agile “Ready-to-Fish” Master

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Major Craft “First Jig” 120g is the finesse champion of the lineup. While the “First Jig” series is designed to be accessible for every angler, the 120g model is a high-performance tool for those targeting Bass, Pollack, and Coalfish in shallower water or lighter tides (typically 15m–40m). It comes completely pre-rigged with a premium Japanese ZOC assist hook and a solid “Otoku Ring”, meaning you can skip the rigging bench and get straight to the fishing.

The “sharper and crisper” shape of the 120g model makes it incredibly responsive to rod movements, offering a lively, high-flash presentation that is very easy to work for long sessions.

Technical Specifications

Product Details and Uses

The Major Craft First Jig 120g is engineered for maximum action with minimum effort:

• Instant Fishing Readiness: The standout feature of the First Jig series is that it is truly “plug and play.” By including the ZOC hook and Otoku Ring, Major Craft ensures you are using high-quality Japanese hardware from the very first drop. No more worrying about split rings or hook sizes—just tie on and fish.

• The Asymmetrical Flutter: Despite its streamlined “sharp” shape, the body is asymmetrical. This allows the jig to fall quickly but then “stall” and enter a stable horizontal fall on the pause. This movement mimics a wounded baitfish perfectly, providing an irresistible target for predators.

• Low-Effort Finesse: The 120g weight is light enough to be worked with a standard heavy spinning rod or a light jigging setup. It requires very little physical effort to produce a “crisp” vertical motion, making it ideal for high-repetition jigging or for anglers who prefer a more sensitive feel.

• ZOC Hook Technology: The pre-rigged ZOC assist hook is designed with a specialized point and bend that prevents the hook from tangling with the jig’s body. This ensures that the lure’s “lively” action is never compromised and that hook-up rates remain exceptionally high.

• Durable “Tough Coating” Finish: Like all Major Craft lures, the 120g First Jig is protected by a multi-layer finish. This protects the vibrant holographic colors from the abrasive environment of reefs and the sharp teeth of aggressive species like Pollack.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The 120g First Jig is our favorite for “Shore Jigging” from deep-water rock marks. Because it’s so easy to work vertically, cast it out, let it hit the bottom, and use a “three-turn-and-pause” retrieve. The 120g weight provides enough “thump” to attract attention but stays in the water column long enough for a Bass or Pollack to intercept it on the horizontal fall
