Shimano Tiger Baku Baku

Shimano Tiger Baku Baku: The Next-Gen Kabura Jig

The new Shimano Tiger Baku Baku is a cutting-edge sliding kabura jig for saltwater vertical fishing. It features a weighted lead head that slides freely along the leader and curved rubber skirts designed to produce subtle vibrations, mimicking the movement of shrimp legs. Choosing Shimano ensures you have a deadly tool for targeting reef and pelagic species.

Advantages of the Sliding System

The Shimano Tiger Baku Baku allows your fluorocarbon leader to thread through the head, tying directly to the assist hooks. This "slider" arrangement prevents fish, especially snapper, from using the jig's weight as leverage to tear out the hooks during aggressive head-shakes.

Components and Tackle

Superior Assist Hooks

Fitted with small yet super-strong hooks and assist cord, the Shimano Tiger Baku Baku effortlessly handles the rigors of fighting hard-pulling reef species.

Parabolic Rod Action

Shimano recommends parabolic rods like the Grappler Type J or Jewel Slow Jig to prevent hooks from tearing out during lunging runs while maintaining the power to turn fish away from cover.

Versatile Retrieves

Effective even when fished super slow, the Shimano Tiger Baku Baku works with slow lifts, bottom hops, or a steady retrieve through the water column to attract both reef and pelagic predators.
