Hand-tied bucktail jigs with 3D eyes and crystal flash that mimic live baitfish for saltwater species.
This is a five-piece set of saltwater bucktail jigs in mixed colors, with 2 oz heads that drop quickly to the bottom. Hair-dressed jigs like these suit surf and inshore anglers working for bass, flounder and redfish. Cast and retrieve them, or work them vertically and add a trailer for extra movement.

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.
