Catch Long John Slide – Ultimate Kingfish Lure

Meet the Catch Long John Slide, the evolution in kingfish (king mackerel) lures designed to outshine standard jigs. When you’re chasing the torpedoes of the ocean, this slider delivers a purposeful, hard-hitting presentation that turns bite windows into catch opportunities.

Distinctive action you can feel at depth: low-profile fins unleash a long sideways darting motion that slices through current and draws curious bites from wary kings. Whether you’re drifting a drop or ripping through a water column, the Long John Slide delivers aggressive action on both the drop and the retrieve, transforming every depth into a potential strike zone.

Precision engineering for consistent performance: machine-balanced weight distribution ensures steadier tracking across a range of depths and speeds, so you stay in the strike zone longer. The super bright holographic finish catches light from afar, making the lure more visible in open water and helping kings spot it sooner.

Rigging you can rely on when big kings come calling: a 450lb Kevlar assist cord, durable 9/0 or 11/0 stainless steel hooks with flash, a 300lb stainless solid ring, and a 120lb assist cord split ring. Built to withstand explosive strikes and deliver repeatable action trip after trip.

Why anglers choose the Catch Long John Slide

This isn’t just another jig—it's a purpose-built tool that translates jig mechanics into a living, reactive presentation. The combination of precision balance, high-visibility finish, and rugged hardware means more time in the strike zone and more opportunities to connect with bigger kings on the water.

Field tips for maximum results

• Start with a moderate trolling speed and a steady retrieve to establish the lure’s rhythm.
• Vary depth and pace to match kingfish mood and schooling behavior.
