Product Review – Clarkspoon’s Shad Casting Jigs
Clarkspoon has been a staple of fishing in North Carolina since 1927, and it is not hard to imagine why. They produce some of the highest quality mackerel trees, spoons, and jigs that are on the market today. When conditions are favorable and the bite is on, you will be hard pressed to find a bonita, bonito, spanish, or king mackerel (or even a redfish in the surf) that can resist these incredible lures.
Now Clarkspoon has raised the bar even higher with their new and improved Shad Casting Jigs that feature VMC black nickel treble hooks and stainless-steel split rings. The utilization of this high-quality hardware allows for reliable hookups without sacrificing the feel of the jig itself. The product is currently available in the size range of 3/4 – 2 oz., with hook sizes varying from #6 to 2/0 on the larger jigs.
These Shad Casting Jigs are currently available in four distinct color combinations: pink/silver, blue/silver, black/silver, and green/chartreuse. These color combinations effectively create the life-like appearance of a baitfish. In addition, the holographic flakes within the lure give off a reflection similar to that of a menhaden cutting through the water, which just further entices the bite.
These casting jigs are perfect for all applications, whether that be pier casting, beachfront hurling, or even throwing into large schools from a boat. Additionally, as its name implies, the lure is a casting jig, and thus is effective for traditional casting as well as vertical jigging.
With the spring spanish mackerel and bonito bite firing up off the North Carolina coast, there is no better time to turn to Clarkspoon for their reliable and trustworthy casting jigs to get you on the fish. Starting at the low price of $5.50, you can typically find Clarkspoon Shad Casting Jigs at most of your local tackle retailers in North Carolina or online at clarkspoon.com.
