The definitive cover jig that makes the long-selling "Equipe" even stronger!
The classic rubber jig "Equipe" with excellent cost performance and cover avoidance ability has become even stronger to reliably catch bass. It embodies "strength" and "sense of security" never before seen.
The hook is now stronger!
To reliably land a bass that is caught in the deepest part of the cover, the hook must be of a moderate size, easy to pierce, and tough. Therefore, the Equipe Stronger is equipped with a well-balanced, highly accurate and durable hook.
The 1/4 oz. model uses a 4/0 hook, and the 3/8 oz. model uses a 5/0 hook. The strong hook penetrates the upper jaw of a big bass.
The eye position, set at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, makes it easier for the hook point to stand when the bass bites, achieving smooth hooking. However, when it hooks an obstacle such as a branch, it maintains a nearly horizontal posture, increasing its appeal in the water.
It is also strong in terms of its resistance to snagging and its appeal! We chose a guard angle of about 45° to prevent hook points from appearing. By equipping each weight with a different number of brush guards, we have achieved slip-through and hooking performance that matches the head weight. By choosing a head color that matches the rubber skirt, the silhouette is not too conspicuous. In addition, we have adopted a design that emphasizes holding power so that the trailer worm does not slip even when placed in heavy cover. The skirt material is all silicone and has tension, making it even more appealing than the conventional Equipe.
