A precision parts manufacturer made
seriously with its technology!
[Recommended tungsten jigs] PREDGE High-speed sinking “TG HORNET” ( “TG SHOWHASHI” supervised by YouTuber “Haisai Tanteidan
There are countless manufacturers that sell metal jigs, but there is one manufacturer that has continued to gain fans by launching and selling jigs at a brisk pace over the past few years, exhibiting at fishing shows and working with YouTubers to develop lures. That is [PREDGE]. The company was born out of a nut manufacturing company with solid technical capabilities called “Fuji Seimitsu” and has developed jigs seriously made by a precision parts manufacturer. This time, we will introduce the [TG HORNET] and [TG SHOWHASHI] models from the lineup, which are ideal for super light jigging and light jigging in the coming season.

Lure Development Utilizing In-house Technical Capabilities
[PREDGE] is a fishing manufacturer whose parent company is Fuji Seimitsu, as mentioned above. Fuji Seimitsu developed the industry’s first anti-looseness nut, “U-NUT,” and boasts of being one of the top manufacturers of anti-looseness nuts in Japan. The company’s anti-looseness nuts are used in a wide variety of applications, including automobiles, motorcycles, bullet trains, machine tools, transportation equipment, playground equipment, bridge piers, highways, railroads, and civil engineering, guaranteeing our safety. The production of such nuts requires reliable technology and quality. PREDGE’s lures are the result of this commitment to technology and quality.

We first spoke with Hisataka Hara, who is in charge of PREDGE’s lure development, about PREDGE.
He said, “PREDGE will be launched in September 2021. At the time of its launch, we sold the TG HORNET, which is introduced here, and the BOWMAN, which supports various types of jerking. Since then, we have developed a variety of jigs and have continued to the present day.”
Its lineup ranges from jigs for targeting bluefish to super light jigging. The company aims to create lures that are one and only.
The company is based in Osaka, and the lure was first developed for use in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, for targeting bluefish, and in Tango, in the Sea of Japan. The development of the lure was carried out through repeated tests by putting all the technical capabilities and knowledge Fuji Seimitsu had accumulated up to that point into the lure.
The name PREDGE, by the way, was coined to mean “to pledge to be a precision weapon. The name “PREDGE” was coined to mean “pledge to be a precision weapon,” and is said to reflect the company’s desire for the product to be a precision weapon for anglers.

To be a precision weapon for anglers, we have developed a one-of-a-kind jig while utilizing the technology of a precision parts manufacturer! They repeated tests in various locations, from familiar fields to expedition sites, to bring it close to perfection.
Fastest sinking [TG HORNET]. Also popular for blade jigging!
PREDGE lures are being commercialized using lead and tungsten as materials, but this time we would like to focus on tungsten jigs.
PREDGE is especially focusing on metal jigs and tie rubbers made of tungsten. Tungsten has a specific gravity about 1.6 times greater than that of lead, so it has the advantages of a faster fall and a smaller silhouette. The TG HORNET introduced here is also a model using tungsten. However, since tungsten jigs are available from other companies, TG HORNET was designed with an extreme tail-heavy shape with an emphasis on fall speed in order to create a unique PREDGE feature.
The design was based on PREDGE’s idea of creating a unique lure. The shape of the lure was inspired by a fast-sinking copper-added harpoon. This allows the lure to fall at high speed without producing any spatter. The lure can be used with fast tides and double tides, and it can reach the target near the bottom without fail. However, just sinking fast is not enough to attract fish-eaters. Therefore, we designed the lure with a rounded design on one side and an asymmetrical design on the other side, with a slim front to reduce drag. When just reeling, the lure appeals with a restrained wobble roll, and when one pitch is used, it lifts the tail with each jerk to produce a rolling action.
“Since the lure features a high-speed fall, it is best to use it in such a way that the fall makes the fish see it and chase it, and the retrieve and action turn on the fish’s prey. It is also popular when used with a blade hook to target Spanish mackerel and sea bream.
In blade jigging, a restrained action is more effective than a flashy action when just reeling in, and the TG HORNET’s restrained wobble roll when just reeling in is an excellent match. Furthermore, the TG HORNET sinks quickly, so it will show its power when targeting Spanish mackerel when the tide is fast or when fishing in strong winds.

A total of six colors are available. From top left: Maiwashi, Akakin, Green Gold, Silver Zebra Glow, Keimurasilver, and Silver Glow Head.
TG HORNET is now available in NEW sizes!
TG HORNET also has a new model being added at the end of April 2025.
‘Additional heavier models weighing 120g and 150g have been released. They are ideal for bluefish feeding on small baits, and for attacking during small bait patterns when jigging for tachi fish.”
TG HORNET will be able to handle a wider range of fish, including bluefish in microbait patterns and super light jigging for red sea bream and root fish, with the NEW sizes also being able to handle bluefish. In addition, in recent years, there have been many situations in Tokyo Bay where beltfish jigging only responds to jigs with small silhouettes due to small baits. The new size will be useful for fishing shallow areas with existing weights, as well as for fishing deeper areas with the new size.

Supervised by Haisai Tanteidan [TG SHOWHASHI]
PREDGE recommends TG SHOWHASHI for super light jigging and light jigging. This is another tungsten material jig released in 2024, and is a model with a more bait-like design than the TG HORNET.
This jig is a model created under the supervision of the popular YouTuber “Hi-Sai Tanteidan,” with whom we started talking about doing something together. The design is center-balanced but asymmetrical, with boldly cut sides and edges to create a vehicle-like silhouette.
In terms of movement, TG SHOWHASHI was designed to be a jig that moves well, in contrast to TG HORNET’s performance of a fast fall, in order to differentiate it from TG HORNET. It has a large slide width when jerked, and its slender silhouette and asymmetrical center balance produce a horizontal fall in a fast phase. When jerked in one pitch or jerking, it appeals with a short dart action like a fleeing bait fish. When stopped, it turns horizontally to create a pause for predation. Among tungsten jigs, this model is said to have the performance to create long predatory pauses. The cut design of the rear part of the jig produces a large wobbling action when it is simply reeled in.
The model is capable of producing a long feeding pause, so a long stay after the lure is reeled in is effective. It is also good to mix a fast pitch with a large wobbling action and a long fall. The high pitch creates the movement of a fleeing bait, followed by a long stay and fall to produce a weakened, tired bait. When you move the lure further, the bait will move to escape again and often prey on the bait at that time.
While the lure has features such as a long stay in the air and a horizontal fall, its slim body and ability to move easily in response to rod action make it easy to use for beginners, women, and children, The slim body and straightforward action against rod action make it easy to use for beginners, women, and children, while veteran anglers can use the jig to produce the desired lures, such as combination jerks.

The slim, asymmetrical shape makes it easy to jerk with light force and easy to produce a dart action. The slow fall of the lure, which quivers slightly, creates a pause for predation. It can be used for a wide range of fish, from small yellowtail amberjack to root fish.

The color lineup includes a total of seven colors. From left to right: Akakin, Green Gold, Maiwashi, Silver Glow Zebra, Keimurasilver, Silver Glow Head, and Sabatobi.

There are many situations where a tungsten jig makes a bigger difference in fishing results than a lead jig. It is easy to imagine that the two tungsten jigs introduced here will also be powerful weapons.
