Quick take
Hand-tied bucktail jigs with lifelike eyes that glide as they fall, designed for saltwater and freshwater species.
This three-pack of 1/4 oz white bucktail jigs has a lead head and a spear-point hook, sized for bass, walleye and striped bass. Its head is built to glide on the way down rather than drop straight, which suits calm, shallow water where a light jig can stay in touch with the bottom. In heavier current a jig this light tends to ride near the surface, so it fits shallow flats, bays and sight-fishing.
Best for
- Saltwater jigging for stripers and flounder
- Freshwater jigging for walleye
- Bottom-fishing from piers and boats
Skip if
- You fish ultralight tackle
- Your target species are panfish or crappie
Strengths
- Lifelike eye design and gliding descent trigger aggressive strikes
- Corrosion-resistant hook handles saltwater and freshwater
- Hand-tied construction ensures each lure is unique
Trade-offs
- Bucktail hair fouls more easily than synthetic fibers in weeds
- At 1/4 oz, the jig works best on moderate to heavy rods
- Lead construction adds weight for deeper water but is slower to retrieve

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
