Title: New Shimano Lucanus Jig
Tags: Shimano Lucanus, Rockfish
Blog Entry: I got to see the new Lucanus rockfish jigs today. They look like something that would catch more fisherman than fish, but Shimano swears that whatever works for the Japanese fisherman must work for us in Socal. The problem I have is the Lucanus Jig costs $15-$17 and could get caught up on the rocks pretty easily. A double dropper loop with some squid costs $5 for the entire trip an produces everytime. Split that x 5 people and it only costs me $1. Also like the butterfly jig, Shimano wants you to use the "Lucanus System" which includes, a new rod, reel, hooks and you must wear the Shimano jacket to make it all work! If you don't believe me see it for yourself: [link="http://www.shimano.ie/publish/content/fish/sac/us/en/lucanus_jig_com.html"]http://www.shimano.ie/publish/content/fish/sac/us/en/lucanus_jig_com.html[/link]
