Daiwa Rock Rover Inchiku Jig

The Daiwa Rock Rover is an Inchiku-style jig built around a sleek bullet body design that gets the jig down quickly to the targeted strike zone — critical for bottom-oriented species holding in deep water or strong current. The multiple anchor points provide a selection of rigging options for both slow consistent retrieve and short jerk presentations, while the lifelike octopus skirt and imitation abalone shell eyes deliver a realistic, enticing profile that triggers strikes from rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species. Available in 6 weights from 80g to 200g across 4 colors. 

Key Features

• Inchiku-Style Design — Inchiku jig profile combines a weighted bullet body with an octopus skirt trailer; the body sinks fast to reach the target depth while the skirt pulses and flutters on the drop and retrieve to trigger strikes from bottom-oriented species.
• Bullet Body — Fast Sink Rate — Sleek, aerodynamic bullet body design minimizes water resistance for a fast, direct sink rate; gets the jig to the target depth quickly in deep water and strong current conditions where time-on-bottom is critical.
• Multiple Anchor Points — Multiple hook attachment points on the body provide rigging versatility; configure for slow consistent retrieve (hook at rear anchor point) or short jerk presentations (hook at forward anchor point) to match the target species and technique.
• Lifelike Octopus Skirt — Soft, flowing octopus skirt pulses and breathes with every movement of the jig; mimics the natural movement of squid and octopus — primary forage for rockfish, lingcod, and deep-water bottom species.
• Imitation Abalone Shell Eyes — Realistic abalone shell eye inserts provide flash and a lifelike appearance; adds visual trigger for species that key on realistic prey profiles at depth.
• 2/0 Hook — All Sizes — 2/0 hook across all 6 weight tiers (80–200g); sized for rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species in the target depth range for each weight.
• Slow Presentation Optimized — Inchiku design works best on a slower presentation — slow consistent retrieve or short jerk cadence; the octopus skirt produces maximum action at slower speeds where fast jigs lose their effectiveness.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Glow — Glow finish provides visibility in low-light conditions and deep water where ambient light is reduced; effective for night fishing and deep jigging applications where glow is a primary trigger for bottom species.
• Gold — High-flash gold finish; effective in clear water conditions where flash and reflection are primary triggers; natural baitfish imitation in gold tones for rockfish and lingcod.
• Red — High-contrast red finish; effective attractor color for rockfish and bottom species; red tones lose color at depth but the contrast profile remains visible to fish holding near structure.
• Sardine — Natural sardine imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for species that key on sardine-shaped forage; good all-around color for mixed bottom species in clear water.

Weight Selection Guide

• 80g–100g — Lighter weights for shallower water (60–150 ft) and moderate current; slower sink rate produces more octopus skirt action on the drop; best for rockfish in mid-depth applications.
• 120g–150g — Mid-range weights for moderate to deep water (100–250 ft) and stronger current; balance of sink rate and skirt action for rockfish and lingcod in deeper structure.
• 170g–200g — Heaviest weights for deep water (200+ ft) and strong current; maximum sink rate for getting the jig to the target depth quickly in offshore and deep-water bottom fishing applications.

Best For

• Rockfish — Inchiku design and octopus skirt are among the most effective presentations for rockfish holding on deep structure; slow consistent retrieve keeps the skirt pulsing in the strike zone longer than fast jigs.
• Lingcod — Larger profile and octopus skirt trigger the aggressive strike response of lingcod; heavier weights (150–200g) for lingcod holding in deep structure and strong current.
• Deep Water Bottom Fishing — Bullet body and heavier weights (120–200g) for deep water bottom fishing applications where fast sink rate and time-on-bottom are critical; multiple anchor points allow rigging adjustment for different bottom presentations.
