Jackall – one of lure game fishing leading company from Japan – is releasing interesting lures for saltwater small game fishing – named “Mute Ball Pencil / Minnow”.
Let’s dig into the unique lure together.
Hybrid Body for Quiet Landing
The unique feature for this lures is the body material – hybrid body made by hard plastic wrapped with soft plastic.
Especially at high pressured spot fish can be very nervous against unnatural sounds, waves etc.. And they can run away by lure’s landing impact.
The soft plastic wrap can soften its impact of landing so that even sensitive fish can stay in the spot.
This soft plastic wrap can even reduce unnatural sounds can be made by hitting hooks to body.
2 Different Types – Pencil and Minnow for Different Range
This Jackall Mute Ball has 2 different types – Pencil and Minnow, and both are floating.
Pencil t ype is for surface range. That creates weak, natural wave on surface of the water, so if fish are very nervous but stays under surface, this could be the choice.
Minnow type is for sub-surface range. That swims a little stronger than pencil type and has wider wobbling action with stronger waves.
If fish feeds small baitfish around surface but pressure is high, this could be the one to choose.
