Available in 3 sink rates and 3 sizes the Range Hunter jigs feature several unique qualities. The clear body jigs are fitted with a center foil which has a strong flash reflection in bright conditions and they all have a glow belly, making them suitable for low light or night fishing. Fitted with an original design and stainless curved super fine spikes/hooks, they are available in 15 colours including 3 full glow bodies, 3 natural cloths, 2 UV glow bodies and 7 clear bodies. 

 

Shallow Sink Rate: slow sinking, ideal for shallow areas or when the squid are shut down and not reacting to a fast sinking jig. A blue eye is their distinguishing feature.

 

Basic Sink Rate: normal sinking, this is a unique feature for a jig of this size. A black eye is their distinguishing feature. The range hunter 1.8B has a sink rate of 3.0 to 3.5 seconds per meter which is the same sink rate of a 3.5 size squid jig and enables you to fish deeper water with a small profile jig. This is particularly useful in strong currents, when there are small squid holding in deeper water or when the squid are not interested in a large profile squid jig.

 

Deep Sink Rate: fast sinking, ideal in deep water or where there is strong current, strong wind or a fast drift. Only available in sizes 1.8 and 2.2 the deep sink rate requires more angler input when the jig has reached its desired depth. To maintain the ideal 45 degree angle in the water a small amount of line tension is require for best results. Yamashita developed these jigs to target deep water with small profile jigs!
