Shimano Ocea Center Sardine is a slim saltwater metal jig designed to deliver a natural presentation during the fall. Its centre-balanced construction allows the lure to glide and roll subtly as it sinks, imitating a weakened or injured baitfish.
Center Sardine does not simply drop straight down. During the fall it adopts a more horizontal position, moves from side to side and produces subtle irregular movements, keeping the lure visible to predators for longer. This action makes it well suited to slow jigging and targeting fish feeding around schools of baitfish.
The surface of the jig produces strong flashes as it moves through the water, while the holographic finish recreates the appearance of natural fish scales. Combined with its irregular movement, this creates a presentation that resembles a weakened or injured prey fish.
The range includes a 50 g version measuring 88 mm and a 70 g version measuring 99 mm. Ocea Center Sardine is designed primarily for saltwater jigging where controlled action on the fall and accurately working areas holding baitfish are important.
