calico jack fishing pole Kunnan 10'0" Medium-Heavy Surf Rod with Graphite Blanks, Aluminum Oxide Guides, Graphite Reel Seats & Extended X-Wrap EVA Wrapped Handle The Calico Jack Slant features a tapered nose design creating an explosive and sizzling swimming action that make it an ideal lure for all types of offshore pelagics Kunnan KCJI-661ML Calico Jack Rod

I generally use a 4/0 EWG hook, usually ringed, and peg my tungsten weight so it stays locked to the nose of the bait

Its nearly bulletproof construction is complemented by the fact that the lip angle is designed so that when it comes in contact with immovable cover it rolls over on its back before continuing its path forward, shielding the hooks from anything that the lure might snag upon

And lastly, with circle hooks , don't yank

But with a 7:1 if you want the lure to be retrieved slower, all you have to do is slow down the rate youre spinning the handle
