Description

The Ultimate Hybrid Jig The Ridgeback is our true Hybrid Jig. Designed to fish slow or fast without changing lures. Its unique angled head and back slide body create an aggressive sideways dart at the top of every lift, then a controlled flutter before a fast sink. Work it slow and it flutters, hangs and then drops quickly perfect for slow pitch. Work it fast and it shoots sideways violently ideal for firing up Pelagics.

Field Notes

This is a hybrid saltwater jig designed for both slow-pitch and high-pitch presentations. Use it when you want an erratic sideways dart on the lift and a controlled flutter on the fall, especially around pelagic fish or when fish are holding deeper and responding to vertical jigging. The fast sink helps keep the lure in the strike zone during fast-paced or deeper-water retrieves.

Pros

  • Works for both slow-pitch and high-pitch jigging
  • Aggressive darting action can trigger reaction bites
  • Fast sink keeps it in the strike zone

Cons

  • Requires jigging technique and some rhythm to fish effectively
  • Fast sink may be less ideal in very shallow water
