VMC Rise-R Finesse Jighead

Turn more short taps into solid hookups. The VMC Rise-R Finesse Jighead is purpose-built to make your soft bait stand upright at rest, imitating a defensive crab or feeding prawn and triggering strikes from fussy bream, bass, flathead and estuary perch. A specialised stand-up head, wire keepers and a chemically-sharpened needle-point hook give you secure rigging and reliable penetration, even with tough TPE baits like the CrushCity Trickster.

Why anglers choose Rise-R

• Realistic stand-up presentation that holds bottom and keeps claws/feelers up where fish can see them.
• Locks soft plastics in place – dual custom wire keepers bite into TPE and standard PVC baits without tearing.

• Versatile finesse head for hopping, shaking, dead-sticking or slow-rolling across flats, pylons and rock walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What soft plastics work best on the Rise-R?
Crab and shrimp patterns such as the CrushCity Trickster shine because the head holds them upright. Small creature baits and grubs also work when you want a nose-down feeding pose.

Will it hold TPE (elastic) baits securely?
Yes. The dual wire keepers are designed to grip TPE and standard plastics without sliding, even after multiple fish.

Which weight should I choose?
Use 1/16–1/12 oz for shallow flats and slower falls; step up to 1/8–1/6 oz for faster current, deeper pontoons or when you need to punch into wind.

Is the hook strong enough for flathead and bass?
The chemically-sharpened needle-point balances finesse penetration with solid strength for estuary flathead and bass on light tackle.
