Description

An all-around rubber jig designed to trigger strikes because of the head design. It gets bites when fished along the bottom, in heavy cover, or fished through the middle of the water column. The Bow Head Jig is an all-purpose football-style rubber jig born from the proven success of the “Bow Head”—a highly regarded jointed jighead design. By connecting the skirted head to the 3/0 hook via a split ring, the design ensures that only the head and skirt move when shaken, allowing the trailer bait to maintain a completely natural action. This configuration achieves a highly effective strike-triggering action that delivers a strong appeal while eliminating unnatural movements. It excels not only with standard techniques like dragging along the bottom and shaking, but also proves exceptionally effective with “Jig-St”—a mid-water-column fishing that has become popular because of how well it works. The bait’s design also allows you to fish it in heavy cover and brush without snagging. This is a highly versatile bait that works in many situations and performs well whether pitched to cover, fished with a steady retrieve, or worked with a rod shake during the retrieve. The football-style head design allows you to fish it along the bottom and generate maximum water displacement. It is great for working through cover thanks to the combination of an eye guard and strategically placed line tie, which helps to reduce snags on wood, rocks, and vegetation. The jointed design of the bait, which separates the head from the hook, allows the bait to exhibit dynamic action in which only the skirt and head shake. This allows the jig to have a strong visual appeal while keeping the bait from moving forward too quickly. Since it has a split ring, you can also change out hooks to match different trailers. It features a 3/O Infini (TC), which is the ultimate offset hook—born from RYUGI’s years of experience making hooks.

Field Notes
