Extra Wide-gap Hook
|
|
Big peacocks have a heavy, thick jawbone. The wide
gap in the peacock rattle jig's hook allows it to pass around the jawbone
so that it encounters softer tissue, not impenetrable hard bone.
With a hookset wrapped around its jawbone, the fish's fighting force is
applied at the resistant curve of the hook, so that your adversary is unable
to apply pressure to the less resistant straight shank |

Extra Strong Gamakatsu Hook
|
|
Peacocks are brutal fighters. Their extraordinary power crushes
and straightens hooks like so much tinsel. The Peacock Rattle Jig
is built around a high-quality, super-strong 4X hook, to ensure that your
trophy doesn't escape by turning your bait into a pretzel |

Pulsating Genuine Bucktail Material
|
 |
Bucktail is unique among tying materials in its ability to provide
life-like motion. Its hollow hairs naturally float and lend a pulsing
motion to a properly fished Peacock Rattle Jig. Its natural flex
and springiness can't be duplicated by cheaper synthetics. |
|
|
|
|
Flexible Pulsing tail
|
|
Mounted with springy monofilament, the peacock rattle jig's extended
tail flexes and moves naturally. Its bucktail fibers allow it to
pulse with the angler's ripping motion, adding even more enticing, appetizing
action. |

|
Extended profile
|
|
Even the largest deer tails have a limit to the length of their hairs.
A simple garden-variety jig is typically limited to about a four inch profile.
By adding the Peacock Rattle Jig's unique tail, the lure's profile
is extended to over 7 inches, providing a more visible, more appetizing
stimulus to large peacock bass. The old adage that big baits catch
big fish works very well with trophy peacocks. |

Contrasting Color Pattern
|
|
The Peacock Rattle Jig swims with the hook pointing upward when ripped
quickly through the water. Just like a natural baitfish, its contrasting
colors are arrayed with the darker shade above and the lighter shade below. |
|
|
|
|
Flashing sides
|
|
Baitfish live and die by the effectiveness of their camoflage.
To take best advantage of the natural physics of light in water, they are
shiny only on their sides and not on the top or bottom of their bodies.
The Peacock Rattle Jig has brilliant flash on its sides, arrayed just like
a natural bait, yet highly visible when in motion. |

|
|
|
Hidden rattle
|
|
Tied directly to the shank of the extra-strong hook, the Peacock Rattle
Jig is armed with a noisy, clacking rattle. Virtually indestrucible
(plastic - not glass), the rattle provides extra dimensions of sensory
output to attract hungry peacocks and makes the peacock rattle jig more
effective in murky water than almost any other subsurface lure. |
|
|
|
|
Durability
|
|
The peacock rattle jig is tied with an eye toward durability.
Peacocks strike hard, so these jigs are made to last. All components
are mechanically anchored and copious amounts of permanent glue are used
at every step of the tying process. Although nothing will make it
piranha proof, this jig will hold up to the worst a peacock can dish out. |
