The Jackson Metal Effect Stay Fall Lure is a unique slimline micro jig/casting metal hybrid with a great action both on the retrieve and on the drop. It was designed to be as versatile as possible and to be used with a jerking retrieve (either vertical jigging or casting with a jerking retrieve), and as such can be used from the shore where long casts are needed or out of the boat dropping over the side.
The lure was designed to maximise the effectiveness of the 'Kurohyou Jerk' technique, where the angler jerks the lure three times and then winds their reel three times afterward, which gives a lot of action on the jerks but usually very little in-between jerks. The Jackson Metal Effect Stay Fall Lure has a shape that ensures action during the pause of this technique as well as the jerk because the slack line allows the lure to fall as it was made to, which is ideal for keeping fish interested and provoking a strike when it's dropping.
The centre of gravity on the Jackson Metal Effect Stay Fall Lure was intentionally shifted slightly to the rear of the lure in the design phase. This ensures the lure flies straight through the air for maximum casting distance rather than flipping over itself. You would think this asymmetrical design would make the lure sink bottom first, but the perfect concave throughout the middle of the lure ensures it falls horizontally for maximum pause in the water column (hence the name 'stay fall'.
