Jackson Artist HW

Extra Weight for Demanding Conditions

The Jackson Artist HW is available in 2 sizes and was developed primarily for saltwater fishing. Based on the Artist FR, it carries significantly more weight, which gives it exceptional casting distance and the ability to punch into a headwind - extending your reach considerably from the bank. The added weight also means it sinks faster, letting you cover deeper water after an appropriate sink time. On top of that, it delivers outstanding tracking stability, so you can fish it both in strong current and at high retrieve speeds. Despite being built for demanding situations, the Artist HW retains the superb swimming action of the Artist FR and continues to prove itself as a consistent predator fooler.

A Reliable Choice for a Range of Sea Predators

The Jackson Artist HW was originally developed in Japan for sea bass fishing and performs just as well on European sea bass. Beyond that, it handles other saltwater predators with ease - including sea trout in our waters and, further south, barracuda, snapper, and jack, among others. It also works in freshwater, producing well for trout on large lakes, asp on rivers, and perch when they're responding to a sharp, aggressive presentation.

Straight Retrieve or Twitching - It Catches Either Way

The Jackson Artist HW is suited to 2 retrieve styles: straight retrieve and twitching. On a straight retrieve it runs with exceptional variety, breaking out to the side repeatedly - especially at higher speeds - while also rolling and wobbling with a lively action. Because the flanks are flattened, the rolling motion produces a strong flash that adds a visual trigger on top of everything else. If that alone isn't enough, you can twitch it very effectively - it darts away hard on each pull and will convince even cautious predators to commit.
