Description

Backwater Bucktail Jigs pair a natural bucktail profile with proven inshore performance. At 1/2 oz and 4.5 inches, this jig casts well, tracks true, and stays in the strike zone on a steady swim or gentle hops along sand and shell bottom. Lime Flash delivers a high-visibility chartreuse glow with subtle flash that stands out in stained or tannin water, on cloudy days, and around low-light structure—making it a dependable choice for snook, redfish, trout, and snapper along mangroves, docks, bridges, and open grass flats. Tie it on, count it down to the depth you’re fishing, and retrieve with a smooth cadence and occasional twitches to trigger reaction bites.
