Ocean's Legacy Long Contact Jig

Fast current blows lightweight jigs off course before they ever reach the strike zone. The Long Contact solves that with a center-weighted, knife-style profile built to knife straight down through moving water, field-tested in Australian waters on everything from bottom-dwelling demersals to open-water pelagics like tuna.

Why Center Weighting Wins in Current

Putting the weight through the center of the jig keeps it falling straight and fast even when current would push a side-weighted or top-heavy jig off line. That faster, truer descent gets your bait back into the strike zone quicker after every pitch, which matters most when you're fishing moving water or targeting fish holding deep.

The Current Drift Problem

Jigs that fall slowly or get pushed around by current spend less time actually working the zone where fish are feeding, and more time drifting out of position. The Long Contact's sleek, knife-like shape and center ballast cut through that drift, so more of your drop counts as fishing time instead of repositioning time.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Long Contact when you're fishing fast-moving current, need a faster fall rate than a standard slow pitch jig offers, or want a single jig that bridges fast-action pitches and slow pitch technique. The rear ridge glow grooves and eye design add extra flash and visual trigger, making it a strong option for both bottom structure species and pelagics like tuna working mid-water.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The Long Contact is built primarily for faster action pitches, quick lifts and drops that keep the jig moving erratically through the water column, but it also performs well fished slow pitch style specifically in fast-moving current where a standard slow pitch jig would drift too much. It's effective over reef and structure for demersal species, and in open or mid-water columns where tuna and other pelagics are working bait schools.

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Size up to 130g in stronger current or deeper water to keep the fall fast and in control; drop to 90g for lighter current and shallower structure.
• Rig with Ocean's Legacy Stinger Twin Assist Hooks to improve hookups on short strikes from demersal species.
• Pair with a fast-action rod like the Shimano Grappler Type J Conventional Jigging Rod or the Ocean's Legacy Origin Slow Jigging Rod to match this jig's dual-technique versatility.

FAQ

Is this jig better for fast pitching or slow pitch?
It's designed primarily for faster action pitches, but its fast fall rate makes it a strong slow pitch option too, specifically in fast-moving current.

What size should I pick for tuna?
Both sizes work, but the 130g gets through the water column faster when tuna are holding deeper or current is stronger.

Does the glow finish need charging?
Yes, expose the jig to direct light or a UV source for a minute or two before dropping for the strongest, longest-lasting glow.
