Bladed Saltwater Jigs

Sea jigs with a rotating blade (blade jigs) are among the simplest yet most effective metal lures for both shore and boat fishing. Their main advantage lies in the combination of a compact metal body and a rotating blade, which produces strong vibrations and flashes during movement. Predators can detect these signals from a long distance, making blade jigs an excellent choice for quickly searching both the water column and the bottom.

A major benefit of this category is the extremely simple retrieve—in most situations, a steady retrieve is all that’s needed. The lure maintains its own stable action, blade rotation, and correct presentation, working reliably even without advanced technique. Sea blade jigs are highly effective for targeting seabass, pelagic species, flatfish, rockfish, and other coastal predators. Thanks to a wide range of weights, they are suitable for both light tackle fishing and classic shore jigging. Lighter models also perform exceptionally well in freshwater when retrieved quickly just below the surface for asp, serving as a long-casting and subtle alternative to hard baits. They are equally effective for perch and other species in the water column, whether retrieved steadily or with short pauses. Strikes often occur on the fall as well, when the blade continues to rotate and attract fish.
