Shimano XJ-160W Exsence Arma Joint 60F 004

60mm | Floating

The Shimano XJ-160W Exsence Arma Joint 60F is a saltwater minnow/shore plug for fishing bait lanes, surf edges, river mouths, rock wash, and current seams.

It gives you a controlled baitfish profile that can be worked steadily or broken up with twitches and pauses.

Start with a steady retrieve to understand how it tracks, then add pauses or speed changes when fish follow without eating.

Floating versions are useful over shallow structure, while sinking versions let you count down into deeper current or chop.

It is strongest when predators are feeding in the upper to middle water column.

If fish are pinned hard to bottom, a metal jig or soft plastic will usually reach them more directly.

TARGET SPECIES: sea bass, flatfish, bluefish, trevally, snapper, rockfish, queenfish, and shore predators feeding around baitfish.
