The Shimano Butterfly Monarch is designed to imitate a fleeing baitfish, featuring a circular swimming action on the retrieve that grabs the attention of predators. On the fall, it slides horizontally before shifting into a spiraling descent, mimicking a disoriented or injured baitfish to provoke aggressive strikes.

Ideal for both drift fishing and anchored setups, the Butterfly Monarch is effective across a range of species—from tuna to deepwater reef fish—delivering realistic action and all-around jigging performance.
