Available in three sizes and four proven colors, it’s crafted to adapt to varying water conditions and bite moods without making guarantees.

Design and Build

From the moment you pick it up, you’ll notice thoughtful construction: a banana head that keeps balance in motion and a bucktail body that creates natural motion and flash. The Mustad hardware is built for durability, helping this jig stand up to long days on the water.

• Banana head silhouette for stable tracking and a distinctive profile.
• Genuine Bucktail hair adds body, shimmer, and realistic movement.
• Mustad Heavy Duty Hook with a #4 treble stinger for dependable hookups.
• Three sizes and four colors to match depth, light, and target species.

Sizes and Color Options

Choose from three sizes to tailor weight and sinking rate to your target depth. Four color options provide visibility in clear, stained, or low-light conditions, helping you adapt to changing water conditions throughout the day.

In the Water: Real-life Use

Anglers report the jig delivering steady arcs of motion through water, with bucktail strands producing subtle flashes that draw attention as it darts near structure. The weight helps it drive through wind and current, enabling accurate placement to sample deeper pockets or weed edges.

• Balanced weight supports deep retrieves or long casts.
• Shimmering bucktail adds attraction in various water clarities.
• Sturdy hardware stands up to repeated strikes and snags.

Tips for Best Results

Pair this jig with Lake Trout Tube lures for a complementary presentation. Use a steady or varied retrieve to probe different depths. Consider a light fluorocarbon leader to reduce line visibility near rocky bottoms, and adjust color choice to water clarity and time of day.

Versatility: Beyond Lake Trout

While designed with lake trout in mind, the jig’s profile and action can attract other freshwater species, making it a flexible addition to a tackle box for multi-species lakes.
