Quick take
Heavy-duty slow-pitch metal jigs for vertical jigging tuna, marlin, and other offshore pelagic species in deep water.
This red and gold OCEAN CAT jig weighs about 5.3 ounces and sinks straight down, which suits vertical fishing over deep saltwater structure. Its flat, asymmetric body flutters as it falls, the action slow-pitch anglers use when lifting and dropping the rod to draw strikes offshore.

- High carbon steel hooks resist saltwater corrosion
- Attractive bright colors with glow options for low-light depths

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.
