When fish are keyed on small baitfish — albies blitzing sandeels on the surface, bass stacked on a bunker school’s edge, sea bass holding over structure — the Chovie gives you the exact size, flash, and profile to match what they’re already eating. A BKK inline hook comes rigged on the jig out of the box. 1 jig per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast Burn — False Albacore, Spanish Mackerel, Bonito\u003c\/strong\u003e — cast as far as possible past or into breaking fish and immediately burn the retrieve as fast as your reel will go; albies and mackerel are triggered by speed and will outswim a slow retrieve; the compact Chovie body cuts through the water with minimal drag so you can achieve the required speed even on medium spinning gear; if fish are skipping the surface, count down 2–3 seconds before starting the burn to get into the strike zone just below the bait ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwitch-and-Dart — Striped Bass, Bluefish\u003c\/strong\u003e — cast to breaking fish or over structure and work the rod tip with short, sharp twitches on a semi-slack line; the Chovie will dart and flash on each twitch and fall on the pause, mimicking a disoriented or injured anchovy; vary the pause length until you find the trigger — bass often strike on the fall after a 1–2 second pause; bluefish typically hit on the dart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow Wounded Swim — Finicky or Pressured Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e — straight slow retrieve just fast enough to keep tension on the line; the Chovie’s profile holds a natural swimming position at slow speeds; use this presentation when fish are actively feeding but refusing faster presentations — common in clear, calm conditions or on heavily pressured fisheries where fish have seen a lot of fast-retrieved metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLift-and-Drop Vertical Jig — Black Sea Bass, Flounder, Snapper\u003c\/strong\u003e — drop straight to the bottom over reef or rock structure, reel up 2–3 cranks, then lift the rod from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock and let the jig flutter back down on a semi-slack line; sea bass and flounder strike on the drop; repeat through the full water column and vary the lift height until you locate the holding depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Jig — Lake Trout, Walleye, Freshwater\u003c\/strong\u003e — drop to the bottom, engage the reel, and wind steadily upward for 10–15 cranks before letting it flutter back down; lake trout and walleye respond to the sustained upward flash of the metal body followed by the fluttering fall; effective over deep structure and rock piles in 30–80 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFalse Albacore (Albies)\u003c\/strong\u003e — purpose-built for albie season; albies are notoriously selective and will refuse anything that doesn’t closely match the size and profile of the sandeels and anchovies they’re locked onto; the Chovie’s slim anchovy profile and small-bait size is one of the few presentations that consistently fools albacore on pressured fisheries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpanish Mackerel \u0026amp;
