VMC Rugby Jig (4-Pack) 2/0, 1/8 oz, Black Finish – Versatile Jig Head for Soft Plastics

Meet the VMC Rugby Jig RJ18-BK

The VMC Rugby Jig RJ18-BK is a four-pack designed with input from fishing legend Ike Iaconelli. It features a distinctive head that blends a round-head and football-head silhouette, forming a rugby-ball profile that tracks smoothly and delivers a balanced feel through the water.

In practice, this head design, combined with an offset hook and generous gap, opens up a range of technique options. The jig imparts a subtle, side-to-side rolling action to soft plastics, which helps draw attention whether you’re fishing over rocks, gravel, weed beds, or around boat docks. The overall build aims for dependable performance with each cast, so you can focus on line feel and lure presentation rather than equipment concerns.
