About this piece
The Jackson Athlete Mebaru Tune 45LL is a downsized slow-sinking minnow designed specifically for targeting mebaru (rockfish) in harbors and coastal areas. It retains the dead-slow range-keeping ability and slow fall of the larger 55LL model while being tuned to run at a shallower depth, allowing anglers to work a zone that mebaru are more likely to notice with a unique action.
Key features
- Downsized 45mm slow-sinking minnow for mebaru fishing
- Tuned weight balance for a shallower running depth than the 55LL
- Dead-slow retrieve maintains depth and triggers strikes
- Equipped with #14 hooks for finesse presentations
- Allows pattern switching between 45LL and 55LL for wider coverage
Best for
- Targeting mebaru (rockfish) in harbors, bays, and coastal structures
- Slow, finesse presentations in shallow to mid-depth water
- Anglers seeking a plug alternative to traditional minnows for saltwater light game
