S&S Bucktails John Skinner Blackfish Jigs

S&S John Skinner Porgy & Blackfish Jigs will help you land more fish! Whether you're fishing from a boat or the beach, these jigs are deadly! They feature a banana shaped head with a sharp short gap 3X Mustad single fixed hook that gives you a better hookup ratio than wider gap hooks. Here's what John Skinner has to say about the jigs he designed:

“Most experienced blackfish anglers will tell you that blackfish can be difficult to hook. These jigs make it easy. The jig is designed to sit on the bottom with the hook bend pointing up. When a blackfish picks up this jig, which features a relatively small and razor sharp hook, it's already in contact with or past those big “tog” lips. At this point it's actually difficult to pull the jig away without hooking the fish. The 3X strong hook sets very easily and is strong enough to pull big fish out of structure. As it was originally designed for, it also makes an awesome porgy jig. Just drop it to the bottom baited with your favorite blackfish or porgy bait, set the hook when you feel a few taps, then hold on!”
