Lancer Jigs has been supporting the kayak fishing community ever since they found out there were anglers crazy enough to chase fish in the ocean. They are long time sponsors of many of the PNW kayak tournaments and we are proud to have them back with the Brownlee Crappie Shootout this year.
Lancer Jigs are my favorite way to target lingcod and cabezon in the ocean. These soft plastic lures have an action that fish cannot resist and come in two tone color patterns that create contrast to go along with movement. Everyone has a favorite color pattern and mine has been the "Copper" Waterdog from the start but all of their colors work well.
I hope to take their smaller 1 oz jigs out to try and catch some flounder with later this year. Many anglers will jig Lancers vertically with great success but if I recall correctly, these lures were made for cast and retrieving. I will also troll them from spot to spot as a search lure and pick up many fish that are out hunting away from the main reef structure.
For boat anglers that want to target halibut and other species in the deep, Lancer offer some of their jigs in larger sizes up to 33oz. In addition to their standard jigs, they offer Steelhead Jigs and soft beads for the river anglers. The jigs heads will out last the plastic tails so be sure to order some replacement worms too at https://lancerjigs.com/
Terry and Tony will be sending a couple hats and gift certificates for some lucky anglers to win.
Thank you to the whole Lancer family for the continuing support!
