Why Fish Lucanus ?

 

Enhance sportfishing
Bottom fishing with heavy tackle and cut-baits can be laboring and time consuming; however. Lucanus takes the labor out of sportfishing and provides you the freedom of fishing without the need for live bait.
 
Fish all season, each season
Lucanus is effective in each season but performs the best in cold water conditions when fish aren't so active.
 
Easy to fish with
Lucanus is an easy and simple style of bottom fishing with light tackle. Unlike Shimano's Butterfly Jigging technique's quick up and down motion, the Lucanus technique is a slow up and down motion a few feet over the bottom.
 
Fun to fish with
Fish bites are visible and can be felt directly through the soft rod tip guaranteeing anglers excitement and enjoyment.

All About Butterfly

Troubled by being able to see the fish on the fish finder but can’t get them to bite? Looking for an exciting new way to catch more fish?

The Shimano Butterfly Jigging System could be the answer to your fishing woes. Developed in Japan in the early 1990’s to catch Bluefin tuna in depths of up to 500 feet, the Shimano Butterfly Jigging System has been proven to out fish bait in many instances when the fish are finicky and won’t bite.

The System is based on four components, a new lure called the Shimano Butterfly Jig which has a very unique action both on the fall and retrieve, a new sensitive, lightweight, very durable rod series named the Trevala, the new generation of super lines, and our high speed, high power reels like Torsa, Trinidad and Stella.

The combination of these products makes catching fish easier, more productive, and flat out fun!

Shimano® TC4F Construction

Shimano® has engineered the next generation of TC4 Construction®.  This new construction uses a high carbon butt section and fused together with a TC4 tip section.  This new blank design gives you the pulling power of TC4 but with less weight and increased sensitivity.  You will also notice a much faster recovery rate which will increase the jigging action.
