Jig HALCO Karcass - 40 g

Product highlights

The HALCO Karcass Jig 40 g is a versatile slow jig designed to quickly probe the water column while delivering an irresistible fluttering action. Its compact profile slices through the water with minimal resistance, reaches the target depth quickly, then flashes and planes at the slightest slack in the line, making it a deadly jigging lure for challenging fish.

Weighing 40 g, this jig effectively covers coastal zones, rock heads, wrecks and breaks, both from boat and from shore. It is ideal for targeting marine predators and gamefish across various depths, from surface hunters to fish hugging the bottom.

The Karcass Jig is delivered ready to fish, equipped with BKK assist hooks that are extremely sharp and durable. This quality rig maximizes hookup rate even on subtle bites while withstanding the runs of powerful fish.

Easy to handle, this slow jig allows a wide range of retrieves: sharp jerks, long smooth pulls or simple linear retrieves punctuated with pauses. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion to adapt your fishing to conditions without constantly changing lures.

Advantages and strengths

Its primary strength lies in its ability to trigger bites on the fall. Where other jigs fall in a straight line, the HALCO Karcass Jig 40 g flutters, vibrates and reflects light with every change of tension, perfectly imitating an injured baitfish.

The combination of a dense body and assist hooks positioned near the head greatly reduces pulls-offs. When a fish strikes, the hooks find purchase quickly, even on tentative bites. This is a decisive advantage for vertical fishing under the boat, where every contact counts.

Another strong point is its ease of use. A beginner in slow jigging at sea can achieve an attractive action with simple basic techniques. More experienced anglers will appreciate its responsiveness for complex sequences of animations, alternating short jerks, long drifts and prolonged pauses.

Finally, this compact jig fits perfectly in a modern predator tackle box. It offers an excellent compromise between casting distance, descent speed, line control and attractiveness in all conditions.

Usage advice

To get the most from the HALCO Karcass Jig 40 g, pay close attention to the fall phases. After a cast or a drop beneath the boat, keep the rod tip high while maintaining slight contact with the line to feel the slightest bite during the fall.

From a boat, let the lure reach the bottom, then perform sweeping pulls followed by controlled slack. The jig will rise a few meters before descending while fluttering, which is ideal to provoke fish sitting near the substrate. Don’t hesitate to pause in the water column if you detect suspended targets on your sounder.

From shore, a sawtooth retrieve is particularly effective: cast far, let it sink to the desired depth, then alternate two to three rod twitches with a short take-up of slack, followed by a pause. The HALCO Karcass jig will plane and flash like an injured prey.

Use a fine, high-quality braid and a leader suited to the targeted fish size to maintain excellent sensitivity and fully exploit the jig’s action.
