Description

Buddy Works OFF BAIT is a 68mm centre-balance metal jig for flatfish. Rising from a medium-slow retrieve, it swims with a wavering, sinking-pencil-like action at that speed. In flat-game fishing where speed, range and action all matter, it opens up a "zone" that only a centre-balanced metal jig can reach - swimming like unguarded, switched-off bait, it looks like easy prey to hirame. Spec: front hook #8, rear hook #6. Also aimed at magochi.

This listing stocks the 30g size in MOR Matte Orange, MLM Matte Lemon, AQM Aquamarine, PPG Popeye Green, ZGC Zebra Green Chart, ZPC Zebra Pink Chart and ZGR Zebra Green.

Information

The swimming action

The OFFBAIT is a centre-balance metal jig that rises off a medium-slow retrieve with a wavering, sinking-pencil-like action. Rather than swimming aggressively, it drifts and wobbles like an unguarded, switched-off baitfish, opening a strike zone that only a centre-balanced jig reaches. At 30g it casts a useful distance while keeping that unhurried, believable roll through the retrieve.

When to throw it

Built for flat-game fishing from the shore or a low boat, the OFFBAIT suits sandy bottoms, current edges and drop-offs where hirame and magochi sit and wait. It covers ground quickly, making it a search bait for scouting a beach or flat before committing to a slower presentation. Use it whenever range and speed of coverage matter more than finesse.

How to work it

Work the OFFBAIT on a medium-slow, steady retrieve so it holds its wavering rise without over-swimming. Short pauses let it settle and flutter down again, which often draws a following fish to commit. Avoid retrieving too fast, as the centre-balance action flattens out and loses the easy-prey look it is designed around.

The setup it likes

A medium-power, fast-taper flatfish or shore-jigging rod around 9 to 10 feet suits the 30g OFFBAIT well. Pair it with a 3000 to 4000 size spinning reel, PE1 to PE1.5 braided mainline, and a 20 to 25 lb fluorocarbon leader to handle abrasion from sand and structure while casting comfortably from the beach.
