The recent success of Butterfly Jigging in the United

States can be attributed to its early development in

Japan during the early 1990s. Japanese anglers developed

a revolutionary style of deep water jigging that changed

the nature of jigging as it was known at the time. Fishing

as deep as 500 feet, they were using the first generation of

super lines coupled with fluorocarbon shock leaders and

the original jig designs. Shimano was able to successfully

identify the significance of these jigs, and created a new

lure design introduced as the Butterfly Jig.

The lure combined with the line and tackle, helped

increase sensitivity to detect bites, and get successful

hooksets. The end result has been an increase in fish

catching percentages, proving that the Butterfly Jig

System works in aiding anglers across the globe to

catch more fish!

A variety of species have been caught throughout Japan

and Australia with the introduction of the Butterfly Jigs,

and the technique developed to fish them. Anglers in the

United States are enjoying the same success with the

launch of Shimanos Butterfly Jigs, and technique in 2005.

The Butterfly Jig system has proven its fish catching

prowess in a variety of different oceans throughout the

world, and has recently generated astounding success

for fisherman across both North and South America.

The Butterfly Jig catches more species of fish in more

locations, while providing you an exhilarating fishing

experience!

The Butterfly Jigging System

uses tackle designed to attract

and detect bites from even the

most finicky of fish. Its an

action/reaction system designed

to allow you to savor the

invigorating feel of every

movement while retrieving the

lure. The feel of the bite issimilar to the feeling of

electricity flowing through the

rod with every movement of the

fish exaggerated, due to the

sensitivity of the tackle.

Jigging Action:The Butterfly Jigging technique

requires a precise motion to impart the right fish

catching action to the jig. This technique works for both

conventional and spinning tackle with the same results.

After the jig is dropped to the desired depth, the rod tip

is facing down. With an upward circular motion, the

rod tip will be lifted up on the upswing of the reel

handle and lowered on the downstroke of the rotation.

The reel retrieve is a tight circular motion that is close

to the body with the rod butt held loosely under your

left armpit. The distance in which the rod tip moves

from top to bottom is approximately 10 to 20 inches

depending on the desired lure action and retrieval

speed. This technique will work on a fast or slow

retrieve depending on how the fish are reacting.

B U T T E R F L Y - L O N G Jigging Action:

The Butterfly -Long Jig is a very productive lure and

works well with the standard jigging technique outlined

previously, as well as the following Long jig technique

explained below.

The Long model jigging technique works with both

spinning and conventional tackle. This technique requires

the rod butt held loosely under your armpit depending on

what type of tackle (spinning or conventional). After the jig

reaches its desired depth, the rod tip is facing down. With

an upward jerking motion, bring the rod tip up to the 11

oclock position. Once up there, wind down taking up the

slack in the line until it comes tight, which will lower the

rod into the starting position then repeat as previously

described. You can adjust the speed of retrieve depending

on how the fish react.

SHIMANO TC4 F

CONSTRUCTION

Shimano has engineered the

next generation of TC4 construction. This new

construction uses a high carbon butt section and

used together with a TC4tip section. This new

blank design gives you the pulling power of TC4

but with less weight and increased sensitivity. You

will also notice a much faster recovery rate,

which will increase the jigging action.
