Quick take
A heavy flipping jig with an exclusive Gamakatsu hook and 30-degree line tie for aggressive cover fishing.
This Smokey Shad colorway of the Hack Attack flipping jig weighs 1/2 ounce and is built for heavy cover, with a heavy weed guard and a Siwash hook. Greg Hackney uses this design mainly in heavy timber, shallow mats and brush, flipped on a heavy rod with braid. The jig sinks straight down, and a changed trailer can give it a shad, crawfish or bluegill look.
