Perfect Swimmer Swim Jig • 1/2 oz • Bone Collector • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook

GP 4 Details:
Flex Cast Jig • 9/16 oz • Buggs Island Special • Silicone Skirt • No Rattles • Gamakatsu Hook
GP 4 Why:

Pitch it around cover or drag it along the bottom on points, ledges and other structure. Use a controlled retrieve and keep good bottom contact.
GP 4 When:
