About this piece
The Shimano Ocea Stinger Butterfly Center Sardine is a center-balanced butterfly jig designed for targeting selective bluefish and sea bream feeding on anchovies. Its subdued horizontal fall and subtle tail-kicking action make it ideal for matching the slow, wounded baitfish presentation that wary predators prefer.
