Benefits and Highlights of the Armer

The Armer offers numerous qualities that quickly make it a benchmark in the Ika Metal lure category. The exclusive technology of the Armor Cloth fabric provides exceptional durability against the powerful bites of squids and cuttlefish, significantly extending its lifespan compared to competitors.

Its clever design and reinforced lead head ensure an extraordinarily fast and precise descent to the desired fishing depth. This feature is essential for quickly reaching cephalopod hunting grounds and significantly improving your efficiency and capture chances.

Combined with reputable Hato Ika or Ika Leader rigs, this jig allows for a very natural underwater action, perfectly mimicking the swimming dynamics of a struggling prey. Its realistic action, fluid movements, and subtle tilts significantly increase the rig's attractiveness.

Finally, the Armer is particularly versatile, capable of adapting to all types of conditions depending on boat fishing rigs and techniques.

Usage Tips and Recommended Rigs for Optimal Efficiency

To fully benefit from the exceptional performance of the Armer, it is strongly recommended to integrate it into a suitable rig. The Hato Ika or Ika Leader systems, combining TOTO Sutte or OPPAI lures, are perfectly adapted for the so-called "Tataki" fishing technique.

Upon launching, allow the jig to sink quickly to the desired depth. Once at the desired plateau, resume contact with slight vertical animations, alternating pauses and brief jolts to spark the interest of nearby squids and cuttlefish.

It is recommended to use a rod specifically dedicated to Tataki, equipped with a sensitive tip to immediately detect the subtle touch of cephalopods. Also, opt for thin and robust lines, bringing discretion and reliability to your rig for optimal and effective fishing.
