Heritage and Evolution
Scoop face lures have a heritage deeply rooted in the traditions of Hawaiian lure crafters. These cultures span several decades. Furthermore, these lures have evolved over time, adapting to new materials and technologies while maintaining their classic appeal. Among the modern iterations of these traditional lures is the Raw Fishing Shaka Scoop Skirt, a testament to this rich history and innovative spirit.
Design and Features
The Medium Shaka is a re-crafted and redesigned masterpiece. It measures 10.5 inches (260mm) with a scooped face and keel-weighted plunger design. This configuration gives it an erratic action and a distinctive bubble trail that sets it apart from other lures. Its unpredictable movement and enticing smoke trail make it a powerful tool in the angler's arsenal.
Versatility and Performance
The versatility of the Raw Fishing Shaka Scoop Skirt is one of its standout features. When kept short and tight, it produces an irresistible smoke trail, while running it in longer positions results in a looser wiggle. This adaptability allows anglers to use it effectively in various positions in the spread. Particularly, it excels in the long corners, short rigger, and long rigger spots.
Attraction and Stability
The action of the Medium Shaka is particularly attractive to billfish and jumbo tuna, drawing them in with its dynamic movement and appealing bubble trail. The keel weighting is another crucial aspect of its design, ensuring that the lure remains on track even in challenging weather conditions. This stability enhances its effectiveness and reliability, making it a favourite among serious anglers.
Rigging Recommendations
When it comes to rigging, the Raw Fishing Shaka Scoop Skirt performs best with a 15kg line class or higher. It is recommended to use double 9/0-11/0 hooks for optimal performance, although it can also run well with a large single hook in the tail. This flexibility in rigging options allows anglers to tailor their setup to their specific needs and preferences.
Conclusion
In summary, the Medium Shaka lure combines a rich Hawaiian heritage with modern design and materials. Its unique action, versatility in different positions, and stability in various conditions make it an essential lure for targeting billfish and jumbo tuna. Whether using double hooks or a single tail hook, this lure promises to enhance any angler's fishing experience with its exceptional performance.
