Classic Surface Iron Technique

The JRI-1 excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a rhythmic rod-pumping action that creates an erratic swimming motion. The lighter weight and smaller profile create a more subtle presentation that's ideal when fish are feeding on smaller baitfish like anchovies or when they're being selective. The compact size also makes it easier to cast on lighter tackle and work with finesse techniques.

Built for Finesse Situations

Whether you're targeting yellowtail feeding on small anchovies, working for bonito and skipjack in calm conditions, pursuing calico bass with lighter tackle, casting to picky tuna that won't hit larger irons, fishing for barracuda in clear water, or any situation where a smaller profile triggers more strikes, the JRI-1 delivers consistent results. The compact size is especially effective in calm water when fish can see larger jigs more clearly and become selective about what they'll strike.
