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 slow-pitch/high-pitch jig designed to be worked through the water column with lift-and-fall retrieves. Use a slower cadence for a fluttering drop or a faster, more aggressive pitch when fish are keyed on bait and need a reaction strike. It is especially suited to saltwater pelagics and other inshore gamefish around open water or current.

Pros

  • Versatile slow-pitch and high-pitch action
  • Fast sink keeps the lure in the strike zone
  • Fitted with BKK assist hooks

Cons

  • Lead construction may be a concern for some anglers
  • Best performance requires jigging technique
