It was designed for one thing: Catching suspended tuna that refuse everything else. Japanese anglers targeting: Bluefin Tuna Yellowfin Tuna Albacore Bigeye Tuna needed a jig that would: ✅ Cast extremely well ✅ Sink quickly through current ✅ Stay in the strike zone longer ✅ Produce action with very little rod movement The result was the Gravity Control (G2). What Makes It Different Most metal jigs: Flutter aggressively Slide sideways Fall erratically The G2 does something different. The center of gravity is positioned to: Resist spinning Reduce line twist Maintain a stable fall Produce a subtle side-to-side hunting action Instead of looking like a wounded baitfish in panic mode... it looks like a: sandeelsauryneedlefishhalfbeaksmall squid trying to escape. That subtle action is deadly on pressured tuna. Why Tuna Love It In the Northeast Canyon fishery and Japan's Bluefin fisheries: Tuna spend much of their lives chasing: Sand eels Anchovies Butterfish Small squid The long slim profile perfectly matches those forage species. Especially when fish are feeding on: 4–8 inch sand eels tiny anchovies juvenile squid many larger jigs stop producing. The G2 keeps getting bit. Best Applications Vertical Speed Jigging Drop to marks. Fast crank 20–40 turns. Pause. Repeat. Long Fall Lift. Allow controlled fall. Most strikes occur on the drop. Cast and Sink A favorite in Japan. Cast beyond breaking fish. Allow the jig to sink. Fast retrieve through the school.
