Halco Karcass Jig - 60 g

Product advantages

Designed by Halco, the Karcass Jig 60 g Chrome Pink is a potent saltwater slow jig that triggers strikes from predators even when activity is low. Its compact metal body slices through the water quickly while producing an irregular fluttering action that perfectly imitates a wounded baitfish—irresistible to carnivores.

Thanks to its carefully designed profile, this metal jig reaches the desired depth rapidly, allowing efficient probing of the water column both in vertical jigging and in cast-and-retrieve. On the fall it wobbles and flashes intensely, amplifying visual and vibratory signals. Supplied factory-equipped with ultra-sharp and strong BKK assist hooks, the Karcass Jig secures the timidest strikes and withstands battles with powerful fish.

Technical specifications

The Halco Karcass Jig 60 g features robust construction suited to the demands of intensive saltwater fishing. Every detail is designed to optimize sink rate, action quality and hookup success rate.

• 60 g weight ideal for quickly exploring different depths in vertical jigging or controlled drift.
• Dense metal body with an asymmetrical profile favoring a fast fall followed by an attractive fluttering action.
• Chrome Pink finish highly visible, producing strong flashes for fishing in clear to slightly stained water.
• Factory armament with very sharp BKK assist hooks, designed to penetrate easily and hold firmly during the fight.
• Sturdy attachment rings able to support fine but very strong braided lines used in slow jigging.
• Lure specifically developed for saltwater predator fishing, both from a boat and around structure.

Benefits and key strengths

In the field, the Karcass Jig Halco stands out for its great versatility. It adapts to many situations: slow drift over wrecks, vertical fishing over rockheads or faster action to intercept feeding fish. Its responsiveness to the slightest rod-tip movement makes it an excellent slow pitch jig.

Its assist hook rigging reduces drop-offs and lowers the risk of snagging on the bottom compared with a conventional treble. Even on fall strikes—common with this type of slow jig—the hooks naturally position in the fish's mouth. The weight-to-size ratio also allows long casts while keeping constant contact with the lure.

• Triggers strikes on wary fish thanks to a slow, gliding action.
• Excellent balance between casting distance, search speed and attractiveness.
• Ready-to-fish out of the box, no modification required.
• Durable lure, capable of multiple sessions without loss of performance.

Usage tips

To fully exploit the potential of the Karcass Jig 60 g, pair it with a rod dedicated to slow jigging or a sensitive saltwater rod, spooled with fine braid and a fluorocarbon leader. Always watch the line on the fall: many bites happen at that precise moment, often without an obvious rod shock.

• In vertical under the boat, perform short, rhythmic animations (slow pitch) while allowing the jig to fall freely to make the most of its gliding action.
• When casting and retrieving, let it sink to the desired depth, then alternate longer and shorter pulls with slow retrieves to sweep different water layers.
• On very wary fish, lengthen pauses and limit animation amplitude to stay as natural as possible.

Match the color of your braid and leader to water clarity, and don’t hesitate to vary your animation cadence until you find the rhythm that produces bites. A firm but controlled hookset is enough—BKK assist hooks will penetrate cleanly.
