Description

More Than a Lure; A Statement in Heavy Cover Introducing the Flipping Purple Passion —the masterful evolution of Bakewell’s iconic Purple Passion swim jig, precision-engineered for the unforgiving world of heavy cover flipping. This isn’t just another purple jig. It’s a hand-tied powerhouse that combines tournament-proven color theory with the structural integrity demanded by serious anglers who flip into the nastiest cover where trophy bass hide. The Proven Purple Passion Design—Now Built for Battle The Flipping Purple Passion features the same captivating aesthetics that made the original Purple Passion a standout performer: a sleek black jig head paired with a vibrant, hand-tied multi-hued purple skirt that creates an elegant contrast and irresistible underwater presence. This striking color combination isn’t just visually stunning—it’s scientifically effective in drawing aggressive strikes from bass in a wide range of conditions. ​ Why Purple? Why Now? Purple jigs have earned legendary status among professional anglers for good reason. The multi-hued purple skirting excels in: Stained to murky water – Purple provides high contrast and visibility without being overly aggressive Post-spawn and summer periods – Mimics bluegill, gobies, and other forage bass key on during feeding frenzies Clear water with low light – The purple hues create a natural silhouette that triggers strikes without spooking pressured fish ​ ​ Deep structure and ledges – Purple maintains visibility at depth where other colors fade ​ ​ Whether you’re targeting largemouth tucked into brush piles or spotted bass suspended in timber, the Flipping Purple Passion delivers the visual appeal bass can’t resist. Engineered for Maximum Penetration and Hook-Setting Power What separates the Flipping Purple Passion from ordinary flipping jigs is its tournament-grade construction: Double-Weed Guard System – Twin premium weed guards provide superior snag resistance through lily pads, thick grass, laydowns, and dense vegetation while maintaining optimal hook-setting power. Navigate the heaviest cover with confidence—this jig goes where others can’t. ​ ​ Stout 6/0 Gamakatsu Hook – A heavy-duty, razor-sharp hook that drives through weed guards and sets solid on aggressive strikes. When you’re flipping into heavy structure, there’s no room for hook failure. The 6/0 Gamakatsu ensures you win the battle every time. Hand-Tied Multi-Hued Purple Skirt – Each skirt is meticulously hand-tied by Bakewell craftsmen using premium silicone strands. The multi-hued purple design creates subtle movement, lifelike vibration, and irresistible action that triggers strikes from even the most reluctant bass. Hand-tied construction means durability that lasts through repeated encounters with aggressive bass and punishing cover. Black Jig Head with Black Double Weed Guard – The sleek black head provides a stealthy profile perfect for murky environments and low-light conditions. The black-on-purple contrast creates visual separation that helps bass zero in on the strike zone. Two Proven Weights for Maximum Versatility 3/4 oz. – The ideal choice for moderate to dense cover in 4-10 feet of water. This weight delivers precision placement with a controlled, deliberate fall rate that allows bass to track and commit. Perfect for flipping docks, brush piles, and submerged vegetation where a slower presentation triggers more strikes. ​ ​ 1 oz. – Built for maximum penetration through the thickest mats, grass beds, and deep structure. The added weight punches through heavy cover and gets you to the bottom fast in deeper water (10-20+ feet). When you need to flip deep or penetrate thick vegetation, the 1 oz. Flipping Purple Passion is your weapon of choice.
