Description

The Leather Leech 1.2g (レザーリーチ 1.2g, LL-11〜 LL-16) is a VANFOOK area-fishing jig whose appeal, per the maker's copy, is the leather's delicate, feeding-triggering action. Simple to use — just reel slowly and steadily; on a slow straight retrieve, the leather's small, quiet, twitching movement is said to captivate trout. A rubber skirt is tied in to match the leather, drawing fish in alongside it. If a fish feels off, the advice is not to set hard but to reel a little faster, hooking up securely around the mouth.

Weight: 1.2g. Offered in 6 colours: LL-11BL White, LL-12BL Red, LL-13BL Pink, LL-14BL Black, LL-15BL Green, LL-16BL Brown.

Information

The swimming action

The leather strip breathes with a delicate, quiet twitch on a straight retrieve, while the matching rubber skirt adds extra flutter. There is no aggressive wobble here — the appeal is a subtle, natural pulse that trout inspect closely before eating, rather than a lure that pulls fish from a distance.

When to throw it

Built for stocked area-trout ponds and lakes, particularly when fish are picky and ignoring faster spoons and hardbaits. It suits clear, calm water where trout can get a long look, and works through the day once fish have seen more obvious presentations.

How to work it

Keep it simple: cast out and reel slowly and steadily, letting the leather do the work rather than adding rod action. If a trout bumps it or the take feels soft, avoid a hard hookset — reel a touch faster instead to draw the fish forward and pin it in the corner of the mouth.

The setup it likes

Suits a light or ultralight area-trout rod, a 1000–2000 size spinning reel, 2–3 lb nylon or fluorocarbon main line and a short 2–3 lb fluorocarbon leader — light enough tackle to cast a sub-2g jig cleanly and feel the subtle bite.
