Shimano Butterfly Jigging

Troubled by being able to see the fish on the fish finder but can’t get them to bite? Looking for an exciting new way to catch more fish? The Shimano Butterfly Jigging System could be the answer to your fishing woes. Developed in Japan in the early 1990’s to catch Bluefin tuna in depths of up to 500 feet, the Shimano Butterfly Jigging System has been proven to out fish bait in many instances when the fish are finicky and won’t bite. The Shimano Butterfly Jig System is based on four components, a new lure called the Shimano Butterfly Jig which has a very unique action both on the fall and retrieve, a new sensitive, lightweight, very durable rod series called Shimano Trevala Rods, the new generation of super lines, and high speed, high power reels like the Shimano Torsa, Shimano Trinidad and Shimano Stella. The combination of these products makes catching fish easier, more productive, and flat out fun!
