Description

The 2nd Generation Hydra Buggs are Saltwater Swim Jigs for Big Fish! They have a big baitfish profile, tons of action, and rattle when you twitch them. You can fish them on a straight retrieve or with a jigging action. The line tie is on top of the head so you can get them down into deeper cuts and through current, especially with the 3/8 oz. and 1/2 oz. The fiber guard will help with mangroves and other cover. These jigs can be used for just about any game fish you can think of. Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Peacock Bass, Striped Bass, are some of the freshwater targets. For our inshore saltwater customers, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Jacks, Stripers, Fluke, and Bluefish are just a few. Basically any game fish that feeds on big baitfish will eat this Bugg! The Coastal Combo includes one of each color that is best for low light conditions and murky water: Chained Beast, Color X, Mardi Gras, Bone Gold, Hot Pink. The Clearwater Combo includes one of each color that is best for clear water and natural presentations representing specific baitfish: Gray Ghost (mullet), Blue Glimmer (sardine/shad), Ghost (whitebait), Tiger Bugg (pinfish), Greenback (threadfin herring/greenback). Complete recipes, tying instructions, and tying video will be available. Specs 1/4 oz. Jig Head 3/8 oz. Jig Head 1/2 oz. Jig Head This is the weight of the jig when wet.

  • Rattles when twitched
