Jackson Namazemi Lures

Jackson have made their mark on the Bream and Bass market with the release of the Jackson Namazemi cicada imitation lure. The Namazemi are a hybrid style lure; their bodies are hard to ensure the lure continues to float, fish after fish, however their wings and legs are made of a highly durable soft plastic to create maximum movement and vibration in the the water, thus a more accurate imitation.

The Namazemi lures are unique in the way they are retrieved due to a rear tow point, which allows the wings to open up when they’re twitched to better mimic the look of a struggling cicada trying to escape the water. The spread of the wings also acts as a small braking system to keep the lure in the strike zone for longer when twitching.

How to use the Jackson Namazemi Lure

Working this lure is quite easy for anyone to use which makes it a great choice for beginner bass fishos as well as seasoned veterans. Simply cast the Namazemi into any sweet spot (under tree overhang, next to structure, above a deep hole).

As soon as the lure hits the water wind the slack line in and start twitching your rod ever so slightly. What you want the lure to do is open its wings up and basically “vibrate” on the surface as if it’s a cicada that has fallen into the water and is trying to escape.

You want to keep the lure in the sweet spot as long as possible, but also make sure you work it all the way back to your feet/shoreline as bass can quite often follow it for a while, or can come from closer side of the shore and smash the lure.

The same goes for bream, find a shoreline with overhanging trees and the sound of cicadas in the background and basically do the same thing as mentioned above, any bream hungry for a cicada will hit it at the surface.
