Description
Sakura Majikeel Combo – 165mm 30g (#013 Clear Blue Holo)
The Legendary Sand Eel Imitator – Ready to Fish
The Sakura Majikeel 165mm Combo is the long-awaited pairing of the legendary Majikeel soft lure and the precision-engineered Makaira jig head. This “ready-to-fish” version is specifically designed to mimic the Sand Eel, the primary prey for Atlantic Sea Bass and other marine predators. The 013 Clear Blue Holo colorway is a top-tier choice for clear water conditions, using a transparent blue body and holographic glitters to create life-like flashes that perfectly simulate a panicked baitfish.
At 165mm, this model is often called a “Bass Magnet.” It features a streamlined design that produces erratic, unique vibratory signals, waking lethargic predators and triggering aggressive reaction strikes whether you are fishing from the shore or a boat.

Technical Highlights
-
Eco-Friendly Construction: As part of Sakura’s commitment to the environment, the Majikeel is manufactured using non-toxic PVC, completely free of harmful phthalates and Bisphenol A, without sacrificing the lure’s legendary suppleness.
-
Aniseed Infusion: The soft body is impregnated with a natural aniseed-based attractant. This ensures that when a predator strikes, it holds the lure in its mouth longer, giving you the critical extra second to set the hook.
-
Atypical Swimming Action: The slender, tapered silhouette combined with the Makaira darter-style head creates an erratic “shiver” and darting action. It doesn’t just swim; it “hunts” through the water column.
-
Streamlined Hydrodynamics: The 30g head is designed to cut through current and reach the bottom quickly, while the 165mm body provides enough drag to create a beautiful, gliding “traction” movement on the lift.
Where & How to Use It
-
Sea Bass Traction Fishing: The 165mm model is the ultimate tool for “traction” (diagonal) fishing. Cast it over sandy banks or rocky reefs, lift the rod high to make the lure climb, and then let it glide back down on a semi-tight line.
-
Vertical Boat Fishing: Ideal for targeting Pollock, Cod, and Bass over deep-water wrecks. The 44g total weight allows you to stay vertical in moderate tides.
-
Atlantic Coast Estuaries: In the Clear Blue Holo color, this lure excels in the bright, clear waters of the Atlantic coast during the summer months when sand eels are most active.
-
“Fly” Handling: Despite its size, it can be handled “on the fly”—using quick, sharp rod twitches to make it dart like a fish escaping a predator.
Gerry’s Pro Tip:
“The Clear Blue Holo (#013) is my absolute favorite for those high-sun, clear-water days. The holographic flakes catch the light beautifully without being ‘too much’ for wary fish. Since this combo comes with a spare body, I always recommend keeping a small tube of lure glue in your bag. If a big Pollock tears the head of the lure, a tiny drop of glue will keep the spare body perfectly seated on the Makaira head for the rest of the session
