Owner Gekito Jig Strike 125g

Owner's Gekito Jig Strike scales up to 125g in this size, still built around the brand's stainless-steel "Tuff Bone" core rather than a wire reinforcement, so the body resists bending against rock and structure. The paint finish is designed to take impacts without flaking, and the rounded edges are shaped to cut out slicing on the fall — Owner rates the sink speed here as the quickest in the Gekito line-up.

The action runs through a slide, a brief suspend and a horizontal fall, a sequence tuned over fifteen years of the Strike series to draw bites from big pelagic species without spooking them on the cast. A centre keel splits water pressure for a tighter rolling fall than the standard Level jig, the slightly front-weighted, thick-set body carries a long slide on the retrieve into a natural one-pitch jerk, and rear-mounted rectifying slits keep the jig stable in flight and through the jerk stroke.
