Halibut - Dead Eye Jig

Halibut - Dead Eye Jig

This lure perfectly matches the profile and appearance of natural baitfish to the point where it almost seems like it's cheating. When you find yourself fishing around large schools of Anchovies or smelt try dropping one of these jigs to the bottom. This lure flutters and shakes as it falls to the bottom which perfectly mimics a wounded or dying baitfish. Remember to always try and let these jigs fall on slack line for the best fluttering action. Once the jig hits the bottom snap the rod up to rip the jig up a few feet and let it flutter back down, make the fish react to the bait. When targeting Halibut we like to try and fish the lightest jig we can get away with so we prefer the 2oz and 4oz sizes depending on the current and depth. We recommend Black/Silver, Green Mackerel, Scrambled Squid, and 6X Glow but feel free to try different colors, sometimes showing the fish something different can make a huge difference.
