40g Rainbow Lead Jig Fishing Lure 7cm Long

When to Use the Heavier 40g Rainbow-Coloured Metal Jig

This 7 cm, 40-gram rainbow-coloured jig, featuring vibrant yellow, pink, and blue shades, is perfect for fishing in deeper waters around New Zealand. The extra weight compared to lighter jigs allows it to sink faster, making it suitable for targeting species such as snapper, kingfish, and trevally in deeper, offshore locations. Its quick sinking ability and lifelike finish make it an excellent choice for jigging in water depths of 30 meters or more.

Prime Seasons and Conditions

• All Year Round: This heavier jig performs well in a variety of seasons, offering versatility for catching larger species like kingfish and deep-dwelling snapper.
• Dawn and Dusk: These are key feeding times for many fish species, making it a prime time to use the heavier jig.
• Tidal Movements: Heavier jigs are ideal during stronger tidal movements, as the extra weight keeps the lure in place and at the desired depth.

Why Use a 40-gram Jig Instead of Lighter Jigs?

The 40-gram jig provides several key advantages over lighter jigs such as the 20-gram and 7-gram knife jigs:

• Fishing in Deeper Waters: The heavier jig sinks much faster, making it ideal for deeper waters, especially when targeting fish like kingfish and large trevally.
• Stronger Currents: In areas with strong currents or tidal movements, a 40-gram jig helps maintain the lure at the right depth, where lighter jigs may be swept away.
• Targeting Larger Fish: Larger predatory fish are often found in deeper waters, and the size and weight of this jig make it more appealing to these species.
• Fast Sinking Rate: If you're fishing in deeper offshore locations or need to reach the bottom quickly, the heavier jig is far more effective than lighter jigs.

Where to Use the 40-gram Rainbow Jig

The heavier jig is particularly effective in offshore and deeper areas:

• Deep Reefs and Drop-Offs: The weight of the jig allows it to sink quickly to the seabed, where larger predatory fish often hunt.
• Offshore Locations: The 40-gram jig is perfect for fishing in waters over 30 meters deep, where lighter jigs may not reach effectively.
• Strong Current Areas: When fishing in areas with strong tides, this jig’s weight helps it stay in the target zone longer.

Why Choose the Rainbow Colours?

The combination of yellow, pink, and blue on this jig mimics baitfish often found in deeper waters. The vibrant colours and reflective finish attract predatory species such as kingfish and large trevally. The realistic appearance of the rainbow colours works well in both clear and murky water, increasing your chances of success in different conditions.

Conclusion

This 7 cm, 40-gram rainbow-coloured metal jig is a powerful tool for anglers looking to target larger fish in deeper waters around New Zealand. With its quick sinking rate, durable build, and lifelike colours, it is perfect for use in offshore locations, strong currents, and when targeting larger species. For situations where a heavier jig is needed, this rainbow-coloured lure is an excellent choice.
