While the Shimano Lucanus Jig might look like a squid or octopus from a different dimension, it’s clearly what our famous reef dwellers prefer for lunch. For the most part, we also prefer our bottom-feeding reef dwellers for lunch.
Many of our favourite table fish hunt at the bottom of the water column on our blue water reefs, and Snapper, Perch, Jewfish, Coral Trout, plus a host of hard-fighting table delicacies lay in wait for the Lucanus to pass by its field of vision. They attack aggressively and find themselves well-hooked on the twin assist hooks.

How Shimano Lucanus Jigs Work
The beauty of the Lucanus is that there is little work for the angler to do to generate action on this easy-to-use jig. Often, anglers bust their guts to generate action on their traditional vertical jig. They’re red-faced and puffing, and that’s on the first cast.
The Lucanus is different; it uses colour and its brilliant skirt to maximum effect with a simple, slow drop and lift technique. That’s right! Your jig will perform at its peak without imparting any real rod work. Often, a swell with the Lucanus jig left attached to a rod and left in a rod holder will be enough to generate the lift and drop required for peak performance.
Lucanus Benefits In More Depth:
1. Deep-Water Efficiency
The Lucanus Jig’s design allows for rapid descent and stable positioning in strong currents. That increases time in the strike zone, improving your chances of a successful catch in deep-water environments.
2. Attracts Common Australian Reef Species
Highly effective for targeting Snapper, Dhufish, Morwong, Red Emperor, Perch, Jewfish, and Coral Trout. The jig’s realistic movement and appearance trigger predatory instincts, making it a versatile choice for multiple high-value species.
You can also expect certain pelagics to have a go at the lure, such as Kingfish, Amber Jack and Samson Fish.
3. Easy to Use, No Experience Necessary
Simple lift-and-drop action requires minimal technique, making it suitable for beginners. The jig’s design works effectively even with minimal angler input, often producing results when left in a rod holder.
4. Durable Construction For Reef Fishing
Built to withstand harsh Australian saltwater reef fishing conditions. High-quality materials resist wear, while sturdy hooks maintain sharpness for extended periods. The robust body design supports fights with powerful reef fish.

I’m so glad to see the Lucanus Back. I’ll be loading up a few tackle boxes with these and then loading up the fish box with some beautiful snapper!
