Sakura Locolong Jig – 80g 132mm

Sakura Locolong Jig – 80g 132mm

The Acoustic Deep-Vertical Specialist – Power for Coastal & Offshore Predators

The Sakura Locolong Jig is a heavy-duty, elongated metal jig specifically developed for vertical sea fishing and heavy shore jigging. At 132mm and 80g, this model is designed to reach depths quickly, even in areas with strong tidal currents or high winds. It is a “loud” jig, featuring a unique internal metal chamber with rattling balls—a rarity in the jig world—that adds a sonic dimension to its visual appeal, making it hyper-attractive to aggressive predators like Tuna, GT, Amberjack, and Large Dentex.

Equipped with a double Assist Hook with shiny tinsels, the Locolong is ready to fish right out of the package. Its asymmetrical profile ensures that while it sinks fast, it maintains a highly seductive, “twirling” and fluttering action that mimics a panicked baitfish.

Key Specifications

Technical Highlights

• Sonic Attraction (Rattlin Chamber): The Locolong stands out due to its internal metal chamber. As the jig moves, the internal balls produce high-frequency clicks that travel significantly further underwater than visual signals alone. This is a game-changer when fishing in murky water or at extreme depths.

• Low-Balance Asymmetrical Design: The weight distribution is concentrated toward the lower part of the jig. This allows for a rapid descent speed to bypass smaller surface fish and reach the “big game” zone quickly. However, the asymmetry causes it to “flip” and flutter erratically when jerked, maximizing flash.

• Double Assist Hook System: Rigged with two high-strength assist hooks on the head eyelet. The addition of reflective tinsels provides an extra visual trigger and helps the fish target the “head” of the lure, leading to more secure hook-sets.

  Light Spectra Intensity: By combining UV-reactive paints and phosphorescent accents, the Locolong captures and restores available light even in the deep, dark layers of the ocean column.

Where & How to Use It

• Shore Jigging (Reefs & Headlands): The 80g weight is perfect for heavy shore jigging setups (PE 2–4). It allows you to reach offshore structures and stay in control during heavy swells.

• Vertical Boat Jigging: Ideal for targeting Groupers, Dentex, and Pollock over deep-water wrecks or reefs (20m–60m).

• Technique – “Long Jerk” & “Speed Jigging”:

  • Long Jerk: Perform long, ample pulls of the rod to let the jig “climb” and then flutter down.

  • Speed Jigging: Fast, rhythmic jerks with rapid handle turns to trigger the internal rattles and aggressive reaction strikes from Tuna or GT.

• Deep Water/High Current: Because of its streamlined profile and density, it cuts through current without drifting too far off-course, keeping you vertical over your target.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“The Locolong 80g is a beast for Amberjack and Tuna. The rattle is the secret weapon here—on days when the fish are ‘lazy,’ the sound of those balls in the metal chamber often triggers a strike when silent jigs fail. I recommend a Medium-Heavy (MH) or Heavy (H) jigging rod and a 6000–8000 size reel. Don’t be afraid to vary your speeds; sometimes three fast cranks followed by a long pause lets that asymmetrical ‘flutter’ do all the work while the rattle settles down
