I have tested... / The Hypnocast from Fiiish, test of an innovative and promising jig

The Hypnocast is a new lure proposed by the company Fiiish. An innovative casting jig easy to use and which gives good results in particular on bass fishing. Back on the test of this promising casting jig.

An innovative jig casting

Jigs are very numerous on the market and for many, they remain as a simple piece of metal. The truth is obviously elsewhere and each one has its technical specificities which influence its swimming, its depth of evolution and on the animation which one must print him. This year, Fiiish launches on the market a casting jig which does not miss innovations and singularities.

L'hypnocast existe en 4 grammages et 4 coloris pour s'adapter à toutes les situations.
The hypnocast is available in 4 weights and 4 colors to adapt to all situations.

Reminder of the specificities

The Hypnocast has already been presented on a technical level. As a reminder, the specificities of this jig lie in its armament which limits the hooking and especially offers a "hypnotic" swimming and its center of gravity which confers to it a great stability guaranteeing distance of casts and a flat presentation in water. These particularities make this jig a real casting jig in the literal sense of the word.

Le centre de gravité très de l'hypnocast permet une nage à plat, une grande stabilité pendant les lancers et une présentation de l''hameçon toujours vers le haut.
The center of gravity allows for a flat swim, great stability during casts and a hook presentation that is always upward.

A singular swim

When you say casting jig, you say horizontal swim and frankly, this is where the Hypnocast reveals all its potential! On the retrieve, it undulates on the side, as if it was moving from right to left. At the same time, its hook, equipped with a feather, oscillates from right to left at a frequency opposite to that of the jig, which gives it an atypical behavior and which proves to be very effective.

Les chasses étaient la condition parfaite pour tester ce jig. Un simple linéaire ponctué de pauses permet de déclencher des touches.
The hunts were the perfect condition to test this jig. A simple linear punctuated by breaks allows to trigger hits.

A simple linear

Because of this technical design, a simple linear retrieve is sufficient. No twitch or anything else is needed to give it an attractive and effective swim. You can feel it in the rod slowly slipping from right to left. One can feel a little bit this sensation with a wobbling spoon so much used in fresh water. Of a childish use, it is thus ideal for a beginner who misses technical experience.

Breaks

During the breaks, with the banner outstretched, you can feel this swaying perfectly. When we know the importance of the breaks and the descent phase on the predators, it is easy to imagine that this lure is going to make devastation.

A test on hunting

For my part, I was able to test this lure on hunts at the beginning of the season and if it obviously seduced mackerel and horse mackerel, it is on the sea bass that I expected it. Indeed, by carrying out linear animations in diagonal with more or less long pauses, I concretized some captures of Dicentrarchus Labrax.

Pour des pêches plus creuses et plus lentes, la pêche en traction est aussi efficace avec ce jig.
For slower, deeper fishing, pulling is also effective with this jig.

In traction

If vertical fishing is not the field of application of the Hypnocast, it is on the other hand possible to animate it in traction for slower fishing in the water layer or close to the bottom. Particularly attractive on the descent, let it twirl towards the bottom with the banner almost stretched out and the bites will not wait!
