Description: VIVA PARADE makes the Maria lure which is a swimming Jig. It's slim and fish-like body shape imitates a bait fish and gives a realistic appearance.
The metal core and plastic coating combination gives it a moderate volume silhouette with light weight.
And the plastic coat protects the inside paint and eyes from any damages such as fish bites, rocks, , etc.

The basic technique for this model is casting and spinning from both shore and the boat. It keeps high balanced wobbling action in slow or fast retrieving.
Twitching and short jerking are of course important.
In order to make good action it is better not to use swivels.

The following models are available:

Model Weight Size
BP56 56g 105mm
BP42 42g 96mm
BP28 28g 84mm
BP21 21g 74mm
BP14 14g 60mm
BP7 7g 55mm

Pros: Fish like action, tough, good paint job
Cons: expensive, cheap hooks

These are creat for horizontal jigging and can be used as a vertical jig in a pinch, scpiciually if you have a specialized jigging rod. I've caught Atlantic Bonito, Spanish Mackerel, Blues, False Albacore and even some small king mackerels on these lure. Be sure to chane the hooks right out of the box. The treble hook that comes on it is real soft and won't last past your first bite. I change them to 4x trebles. They aren't cheap either but they are well made and hold up very well.
