Shimano Ocea Sardine Waver is a saltwater metal jig designed for slow pitch jigging. Its key feature is a varied, irregular action on the fall that imitates an injured or weakened baitfish and can attract both pelagic predators and fish feeding closer to the seabed.
The specially shaped keel at the rear of the jig allows Sardine Waver to produce three different movements as it sinks: a backward slide, a rocking fall and an alternating forward-and-backward glide. These changes in direction occur naturally, preventing the lure from falling in a uniform way and keeping it attractive even without constant rod movement.
This characteristic allows the jig to be worked in several different ways and through different layers of the water column. The fall is particularly important, as this is when Sardine Waver shows its strongest action and closely imitates disoriented or injured baitfish.
Ocea Sardine Waver is designed for saltwater jigging for larger predators. It is particularly well suited to tuna fishing and can also be used to target other pelagic and bottom-dwelling species.
