The EXPLORER TACKLE Magic Shallow jig head is designed for fishing in shallow areas. Its flat profile generates a gliding descent and a natural animation that is particularly effective on wary sparids. Stable on the bottom and fitted with a rig optimised for shrimp, it improves bait presentation while maximising hook-up chances.
The EXPLORER TACKLE Magic Shallow stands out with a flat profile that increases its lift in the water. This specific design slows the descent and creates a particularly attractive gliding effect during the fall phases.
On the retrieve, the pressure exerted on its flat face causes a natural lateral movement, perfectly simulating the motion of prey. This subtle animation is particularly effective at triggering strikes from difficult fish, especially during drift prospecting in shallow areas.
The Magic Shallow's design is conceived to keep the bait perfectly in place and deliver a realistic presentation. The anti-slip pin effectively locks the shrimp so it does not slide along the shank during animations or in strong currents.
The main hook, reinforced and ultra-sharp, naturally follows the shape of the shrimp to ensure a discreet and natural presentation, ideal for fooling the most wary sparids.
The Magic Shallow is fitted with a robust assist hook featuring a particularly sharp round hook. Its size perfectly matches the mouth morphology of sparids.
Placed in the head of the shrimp, this additional point considerably increases the chances of a successful hook-up. Even the most discreet bites are effectively converted.
The assist hook braid is complemented by fine strands of fluorescent silicone matching the colour of the tenya. Long and supple, they imitate the legs and antennae of a shrimp.
Their movement in the water generates slight vibrations that enhance the attractiveness of the rig and stimulate predators' strike instinct.
The flat section located under the jig head allows the tenya to consistently lie flat on the bottom. The hook remains angled at approximately 45°, in a raised position, which greatly reduces the risk of snagging.
This configuration keeps the shrimp in a natural posture and improves effectiveness on discreet bites, which are common when fishing for sparids.
The Magic Shallow is available in several original crackled-effect colour schemes reminiscent of shells — the natural prey highly sought after by sparids. These finishes enhance the discretion and effectiveness of the rig in frequented areas.
