shimano lucanus jigging

[gozo123]

anyone know anything about the new Lucanus System?

[skip]

It's a different jigging style, less physically intensive and using different jigs and a different fishing system. Basically bouncing the jig/lure along the bottom.

I believe Josef of Misterfish has done this abroad and is stocking the equipment.

Yep i got a small barracuda on one once,but tbh i think this was a bit of a "one off"..imho knife jigs are more consistantly successful...btw i also managed to loose my Lucanus on the bottom too!
