Damiki Rig

Damiki Rig

The Damiki Rig (Jighead Minnow) is a finesse presentation that pairs a small jighead with a shad-style soft plastic. It’s designed to be fished vertically, hovering naturally in front of suspended bass. This subtle, realistic look makes it especially effective in cold water and with forward-facing sonar.
