It features the \u003cem\u003eMono Flex Joint System\u003c\/em\u003e - a purpose-built hinge mechanism that gives the bait \u003cstrong\u003egreater freedom of movement\u003c\/strong\u003e and noticeably \u003cstrong\u003eimproved swimming action\u003c\/strong\u003e. The rear section produces a \u003cstrong\u003esubtly delayed rolling motion\u003c\/strong\u003e driven by the tail fin, which triggers predators hard and draws aggressive strikes. Alongside that action, the \u003cstrong\u003eincreased water displacement\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elifelike tail fin design\u003c\/strong\u003e add to what makes this hard lure so effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStop \u0026amp; Go or Steady Retrieve - Many Routes to Pike and Largemouth Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can work the \u003cem\u003eJackall Maekon\u003c\/em\u003e in several ways. On a \u003cstrong\u003estop \u0026amp; go retrieve\u003c\/strong\u003e, it dips down on the pause before rising back up - like an exhausted baitfish that looks like easy, worthwhile prey. Alternatively, \u003cstrong\u003ewind it back steadily\u003c\/strong\u003e: whether you go very slowly or at pace, big predators find it hard to resist watching the \u003cem\u003eMaekon\u003c\/em\u003e swim past. The \u003cstrong\u003eintense wobbling action\u003c\/strong\u003e is comparable to that of large crankbaits, and \u003cstrong\u003epike and largemouth bass\u003c\/strong\u003e are the primary target species - though other large predators will happily take it too. The hits are hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFishing It Deeper with John Weights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMaekon\u003c\/em\u003e runs shallow - very shallow. With a \u003cstrong\u003erunning depth of 0-0.3 m\u003c\/strong\u003e, it qualifies as a subsurface swimbait. If you want to get it \u003cstrong\u003edeeper into the water column\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can add John Weights to the belly. These clip-on weights let you convert the floating swimbait into a suspending or even sinking lure, putting it in front of \u003cstrong\u003epredators holding deeper\u003c\/strong\u003e that have no interest in coming up to the surface to feed. That versatility, combined with \u003cstrong\u003egood casting properties\u003c\/strong\u003e, also makes it a \u003cstrong\u003esolid option as a search bait\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a swimbait, it casts well, retrieves easily, and it stands out - drawing hard, aggressive takes. All of that makes the \u003cem\u003eJackall Maekon\u003c\/em\u003e a strong choice when you're covering water and looking for active fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Facts:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard lure \/ swimbait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in various sizes and colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono Flex Joint System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntense wobbling action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop \u0026amp; Go or linear steady retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-sharp BKK Fangs treble hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear treble hook dressed with feathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jackall","offers":[{"title":"150 SF \/ Aggressive Perch","offer_id":49702841745754,"sku":"SF37624.1","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"150 SF \/ Ayu","offer_id":49702841778522,"sku":"SF37624.2","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"150 SF \/ Bone","offer_id":49702841811290,"sku":"SF37624.3","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"150 SF \/ Crazy Pike","offer_id":49702841844058,"sku":"SF37624.4","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"150 SF \/ Muddy Roach","offer_id":49702841876826,"sku":"SF37624.5","price":54.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"150 SF \/ Muddy Secret Tiger","offer_id":49702841909594,"sku":"SF37624.6","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"180 SF \/ Aggressive Perch","offer_id":49702841942362,"sku":"SF37624.7","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"180 SF \/ Ayu","offer_id":49702841975130,"sku":"SF37624.8","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"180 SF \/ Bone","offer_id":49702842007898,"sku":"SF37624.9","price":64.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"180 SF \/ Crazy Pike","offer_id":49702842040666,"sku":"SF37624.10","price":64.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"180 SF \/ Muddy Roach","offer_id":49702842073434,"sku":"SF37624.11","price":64.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"180 SF \/ Muddy Secret Tiger","offer_id":49702842106202,"sku":"SF37624.12","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/Illex-Maekon-Aggressive-Perch.jpg?v=1759437822","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/illex-maekon","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
