Description

The Bucktail steelhead jig has been a closely guarded secret but I think it's about time to introduce this pattern. Sparsely tied bucktail hair on our super strong xxx jig hook flows like nothing else in the water. Great for steelhead, browns and the smallmouth absolutely love them. One per pack.

Field Notes

Cast and let the bucktail jig work through the current, then vary retrieve speed to keep the hair moving naturally. It’s especially effective when steelhead are holding near structure or moving lanes; browns may also key in on the same presentation.

Pros

  • Sparsely tied bucktail hair creates lifelike movement
  • Strong jig hook for better hooksets
  • Works for multiple salmonid species (steelhead/browns)

Cons

  • Only one jig per pack
