Usage tips and rigging recommendations:

To fully enjoy the performance of the Armer jig, it is highly recommended to incorporate it into a Tataki rig of Hato Ika or Ika Leader type. Ideally, this jig should be paired with TOTO Sutte or OPPAI to maximize its attractiveness.

For animation, perform a series of sharp pulls followed by quick stops. Then let the jig briefly descend again to automatically regain its baskets-down position. This technique allows for very attractive natural swimming, immediately enticing cephalopods to attack.
