Nature Boys NEW ROCKRIDER 120g
A robust iron jig that targets large Kingfish and pelagics from rough seas and boats.
An iron jig that targets large kingfish, and tuna by casting. The forward centre of gravity and thick design grabs the tide even when pulling diagonally. Designed with superb casting distance which is detrimental when shore jigging to cover a wider area.
It drifts during the fall with a quick darting action and the "reverse attachment" that switches back and forth also supports continuous vertical fishing, and it is possible to finely chop the predation range. It becomes a jig of the dreams for anglers with hopes of landing your next PB fish.
Released in 2022 after three and a half years of testing in the Izu Islands, Amami Islands, Sotobo, and Tsushima.

The story behind the creation of the Nature Boys Rock rider, development history and impressions.
Around the fall of 2018
It was around the fall of 2018 that we started development.
At that time, development started at 85g rock shore field.
Paradoxical with the final form, it started with a rear heavy type.
Tried multiple models around 85g in rock shore jigging in the Izu Islands.
When using head heavy, it functions as an iron jig that emphasises sliding with one-pitch jerk with a long stroke.
I would be happy if I could catch such a cute size with a prototype. 1st tail
In the former, it seems that greater Amberjack and Kingfish are more responsive, and in the latter, Amberjack.
On the other hand, with the old iron jig eye specifications, eye collapse and durability problems were exposed in the harsh rock shore and casting fields.
While ensuring ease of wearing, it is now a reinforced eye specification that has been introduced to all models.
Around the spring of 2019
Afterwards, trials were conducted at offshore Sotobo and casting in the Izu Islands.
In addition to the concept of rear heavy, we focused on sliding performance and range keeping performance with reverse attachment.
It is different from conventional swimbirds and has secured tide entanglement like a short.
Autumn 2019
Although it originated from rock shore tests in the Izu Islands and Amami Islands,
it was tested in Sotobo, Tsushima, and the Goto Islands, aiming for large amberjack in shallow areas, with an offshore approach.
In the spring of 2021
The staff found the effectiveness of proper use in cherry salmon jigging, which has been popular in recent years.
It is said that range keeping and dirt action in head heavy use are effective.
Even for tuna and yellowfin tuna that run on the surface of the open sea, it can cover a wide range just below the water surface, and it
has a deep pocket that can be flexibly adjusted to activity and predation patterns by properly using head heavy and rear heavy.
It can be said that it is a high-response jig that realizes the dirt and horizontal fall that iron jigs are good at with a compact size.
On the other hand, it also supports fishing that can be pursued at a linear speed by attaching it in reverse.
I want to attract big fish hidden around the roots and shallows from rough seas, from boats to rough seas , and to chase the surface at high tempo.
In such a situation, I would like you to ask the fish.
It is one that is active regardless of offshore casting & jigging, rock shore.
By all means, please try the iron piece of dreams and hopes.
