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. Sunflash brings a warm gold-and-pearl flash that pops in bright sun and clear to lightly stained water, closely matching small baitfish over sand flats, channels, and along mangrove edges. It’s a dependable choice for snook, redfish, trout, and snapper around docks, bridges, and open grass flats. Tie it on, count it down to depth, and retrieve with a smooth cadence and occasional twitches to trigger reaction bites.
