Quick take
A hand-tied hair jig with a holographic eye and glow paddle tail, sized for deep saltwater jigging and murky conditions.
The Dipper is a holographic bucktail jig with a hand-tied hair body, tinsel accents and a glow-in-the-dark paddle tail at the rear. This 4 oz Dorado version is one of the heavier weights in the line, suited to deep runs where a bucktail needs to sink. Anglers after bass, walleye, pike or trout can use its slow fall to draw strikes as the jig drops.
Best for
- Offshore vertical jigging for stripers and bottom fish
- Murky or deep water where visibility is low
- Dawn and dusk fishing where glow attracts strikes
Skip if
- You fish clear shallow water; this jig is heavy and deep-oriented
- You prefer lighter tackle
Strengths
- 3D holographic eye mimics distressed baitfish and reflects light
- Glow-in-the-dark paddle tail provides visibility in low-light conditions
- Hand-tied bucktail with tinsel accents attracts fish from distance
Trade-offs
- 4 oz is heavy; requires stout equipment
