Field Notes

Fish the Ridgeback Jig with slow-pitch lifts and pauses or a faster retrieve to trigger its erratic sideways dart and flutter. It’s designed to work from the bottom up—use heavier models for deeper water and faster sink, and lighter models when predators are higher in the water column.

Pros

  • Hybrid metal jig with angled head for erratic sideways dart and flutter
  • Works fast for pelagics or slow for bottom species
  • Multiple weight options for covering different depths
  • Twin assist hooks with fitted hardware

Cons

  • Requires jigging/working the lure (less effective as a simple cast-and-retrieve)
  • Heavier sizes may be harder to cast in light setups
