Description

The North Craft Air Ogre AOG85SLM is a slow-sinking super-bait measuring 85mm and weighing 28g, designed with a wide S-shaped slalom action and a horizontal fall on the drop. It is fitted with a reinforced No.5 split ring and a VMC 7554 #1 hook as standard, and its results include a JGFA-registered world record catch by an angler fishing in Tokushima.

Built to draw strikes from wary, lure-shy fish in heavily pressured waters, the AOG85SLM works across a slow straight retrieve, twitch-jerk, lift-and-fall and drift presentations, and a fast day-game retrieve to trigger reaction bites.

Information

The swimming action

The Air Ogre uses a slow-sinking body that carves a wide S-shaped slalom on a straight retrieve, then falls horizontally on the pause rather than nose-diving, holding a natural silhouette in front of following fish.

When to throw it

Suited to heavily pressured seabass grounds where fish have already seen standard minnows and swimbaits - harbours, river mouths and current seams, particularly during low-light and night sessions when a slower, subtler presentation earns more looks.

How to work it

Work it on a slow straight retrieve, or mix in twitch-jerk, lift-and-fall and drift pauses to trigger a following fish; switch to a faster day-game retrieve in bright conditions to draw reaction strikes from active fish.

The setup it likes

A 7'6"-8' ML-MH seabass spinning rod, 2500-3000 size reel, PE0.8-1.2 braid and a 12-16 lb fluorocarbon leader suit both sizes in this range.
