Description

The Clue Base is a centre-balance metal jig designed as the go-to starting point for bay jigging, at 80g and 77mm. Its finely tuned aspect ratio lets the angler control everything from a medium-speed slide fall to a straight, current-resistant fall just by adjusting thumb pressure on the spool, and a moderate retrieve resistance helps the angler feel changes in the current.

On the jerk, its broad curved surfaces throw off a strong wobble and flash to draw in fish. Clue designed the Base to cover fall, dart, flash and vibration at a high level, making it an all-rounder capable of working a full day on the water across tachiuo, seabass, rockfish, flounder and other bay-area fish-eaters.

Information

The swimming action

Base is Clue's centre-balance benchmark jig for bay jigging, shaped so the angler can dial the fall from a medium-speed slide through to a straight, current-resistant drop just by varying thumb pressure on the spool. On the jerk its broad, curved sides throw a strong wobble and flash, and a moderate pulling resistance telegraphs current and temperature changes through the retrieve.

When to throw it

The 80g/77mm Base suits bay and inshore boat jigging over mixed structure where several species feed together, including tachiuo, seabass, rockfish and flounder. It is built as an all-rounder for a full day on the water rather than a specialist lure, so reach for it as the starting point of a session before fine-tuning.

How to work it

Jig with a jerk-and-fall rhythm, using spool pressure with your thumb to control how the jig slides or drops straight on the fall. Read the resistance through the rod to track current layers and thermoclines, and vary jerk length and pause to bring out the fall, dart, flash and vibration the jig is built to combine.

The setup it likes

A medium to medium-heavy boat jigging rod suits the 80g Base, matched with a 3000 to 5000 size spinning or small baitcast jigging reel depending on jig weight. Run PE1.5 to PE3 braided mainline with a 25 to 40 lb fluorocarbon leader, scaling up line class with the heavier sizes.
