Description

FREE SHIPPING TO US AND CANADA OVER $100 The 3/8 ounce Smashed Head Waggerbait™ swim jig, a patent pending design, adds noise and a heavy pulsing vibration to the swim jig presentation. It can be fished through cover, paused on the bottom or pulled on top of the slop. The craw textured tail of the Waggerbait™ swim jig is weighted at the back end. This is the area of greatest lateral movement during the oscillation of the tail when being retrieved. By weighting the tail there it maximizes the production of kinetic energy. The tail rides directly on the round of the hook shank. It is this co-operative engagement between the hook and the rigid tail that results in the transfer of energy to the jig portion of the bait. The energy transfer results in the creation of noise by two methods, the direct contact of the stainless steel eye loop of the tail on the wire of the hook shank ( like plucking a guitar string ) and the hesitation in the forward movement of the jig which activates the rattle attached to the hook shank just behind the skirt. This results in a unique sound and vibration pattern that triggers big bass. The Waggerbait™ swim jig gets a lot of attention from fish with teeth so the skirts are wired tied to increase durability. The tail is attached with a stainless steel wire loop that will not rip off. This saves you time on the water and money by not replacing a plastic trailer every other fish. The tail of the Waggerbait™ swim jig was designed by Doug Richardson. It is molded of a solid plastic, painted and hand detailed in-house at The Ugly Pike Bait Co. The colors have been selected to give the angler a good choice to deal with a variety of forage bases and water color situations. The tails are clear coated with the same resin that we use on our muskie baits protecting them with a glass hard finish. The Smashed Head Waggerbait™ swim jig give you a presentation that the big ones haven't seen or heard before this along with the unique finishes will give you the edge on pressured waters. Our current production of this collection is limited to 100 baits per week. We do our best to complete each order as soon as possible. We will contact you if fulfillment of your order will be greater than 7 days.

Field Notes

Use this 3/8 oz swim jig to fish through cover and slop, then either retrieve steadily for a heavy pulsing vibration or pause it on the bottom to let it settle. It also works when pulled up through the water column to trigger reaction bites.

Pros

  • Heavy pulsing vibration plus noise/rattle for reaction bites
  • Designed to be fished through cover
  • Weighted craw-textured tail increases lateral oscillation
  • Wired-tied skirt for durability against toothy fish
  • Stainless wire loop tail attachment for durability

Cons

  • Best results require proper retrieval/pause timing to activate the vibration and rattle
  • Skirt/tail components may still wear over time with frequent cover contact
