New to me anyway. I like to try new lures, this is the latest. It's a metal vibe style. I intend to bounce it over sand and think it will work for snapper and trevally, but we will see. Hard to track down in NZ in this size (14g), so it came from China. So many more options in overseas markets. Guess it doesn't matter as it's not hard to catch fish here!  |

That looks promising. What line do you use for a 14g jig?

| I tend to stick with my standard softbaiting gear for lures in the 10-30g range, so 15lb braid and 15lb fluorocarbon leader. Lighter would be nice, but they occasionally get picked up by big snapper and trevally or kingfish which are a real handful on ultralight gear. |
