Check out Mustad’s Big Eye bucktail in action with Northeast stripers and fluke!
There is a reason why survival kits often include a bucktail jig: they appeal to a wide variety of fish and are a simple and effective method of putting fish in the box. Mustad’s new Big Eye bucktail jigs are built on 2X Mustad jig hooks molded into a hydrodynamic head and feature two line ties for vertical or casting applications. With these two line tie options you can easily alternate presentations without having to change lures; simply change the attachment location. The jigs also feature oversized 3D eyes, hand-tied premium dyed deer hair and crystal flash to provide maximum attraction to gamefish of all types. There’s also a wire bait keeper that securely holds any natural or artificial trailers in place.
Whether you’re 3-waying a rip for striped bass, drifting the inshore bumps and wrecks for sea bass and fluke, or pitching lures around offshore FAD’s for finicky pelagics, there is a Big Eye bucktail for the job! The jigs are available in eight of the most popular and productive color patterns (black, black/purple, black/silver, glow/white, pink, red/white, chartreuse/white and white) and 12 different weights from 1/8 to 8 ounces to target fish of any size, species and location. The MSRP ranges from $3.49 to $10.49 depending on size
