Quick take
Lead-alloy fast fall vertical jigs with reinforced rings and hooks, built for slow-pitch jigging offshore.
A heavy fast-fall vertical jig in a Blue Mackerel finish, weighing about 12 ounces in the 350 gram size. It is a lead alloy metal jig aimed at offshore pelagics, bottom fish, striped bass, redfish and salmon. Anglers dropping baits deep over structure or working offshore water will find the weight suits that job.
