Dhubite Deep Drop Jigs: Engineered for Performance at Extreme Depths
The Dhubite Deep Drop Jig is designed for one primary purpose: to get to the depths quickly and attract attention. With its streamlined design and superior engineering, it outperforms other deep drop jigs by requiring lighter weights to hold bottom, even in strong currents and challenging conditions.
Why Dhubite Deep Drop Jigs Are Superior:
-
Streamlined for Efficiency:
- Vertical and horizontal dimensions are optimized to minimize resistance, ensuring the jig gets to the bottom faster and stays there with less weight.
- Competing jigs often require extra weight to hold bottom due to wider, high-flutter designs, leading to more tangles and frustration.
-
Effective in Strong Currents:
- The sleek profile minimizes the impact of deep-sea currents, allowing the jig to track more effectively under the boat.
Bright Glow and Minimal Flutter:
- High-Visibility Glow: The bright glow attracts attention in the depths, especially in low-visibility conditions.
- Minimal Flutter: With a slight thumbing of the spool on the drop, the jig rockets to the bottom with minimal flutter, drawing in big predators.
Favored by Deep-Dwelling Predators:
Big fish like Blue Eye, Bass Grouper, Nannygai, Harpuka, Bar Cod, and Ruby Snapper find these jigs irresistible. The loud "thud" when hitting the bottom adds to their appeal—most predators are drawn to the noise, much like Dhufish are known to investigate anchor chains.
A Unique Technique: Paternoster Setup with Double Hooks
Our favorite way to fish these jigs is with a paternoster rig setup:
- Attach the big jig with assists at the bottom of the rig.
- Add a solo assist hook (no jig) approximately 500mm above the jig for increased versatility.
Why This Works:
- The large jig draws attention and gets aggressive fish like Dhufish to strike.
- The top assist hook is perfect for less aggressive species like Pinkies and even Nannygai, which tend to target the smaller, higher hooks.
- Use a double-looped blood knot to spread the load and avoid breaking points. Be sure to attach your leader to the swivel and not the solid ring to avoid damage from sharper edges.
Shines in Tough Conditions:
These jigs excel in situations where other setups fail:
- Long-period or medium-to-large swells: Poor visibility at the seafloor means fish rely on sound and vibration to locate prey.
- Strong currents: The streamlined design ensures the jig tracks with the boat, staying in the strike zone effectively.
Recommended Assists for Deep Drops:
For deeper fishing, we recommend our 13/0 super heavy-duty assist hooks:
-
Each pack includes:
- 2x twin-hooked assist sets (4 hooks total).
- Top assist hooks come with swivels; the bottom does not.
- Lean Glowing Frills: Specifically designed to minimize drag for deep-water fishing.
Pro Tips for Success:
- Use Orange Glow: We’ve seen the most success with the orange glow color, which is why it’s our primary stock option.
-
Fishing Technique:
- Motor directly over the fish arch and hold position in reverse while dropping your jig.
- For Dhufish, a fast-pitched retrieve can trigger a strike if the fish doesn’t hit on the drop—most hits occur within 10m off the bottom.
