Coda Lures APEX "All Purpose" Jig
Coda LuresMeet the Apex—the tournament-proven jig meticulously engineered to tackle a wide array of fishing scenarios.
Built for serious anglers who demand performance and reliability, this jig stands out with its solid construction and wire-tied skirt. Like we say, “Don’t get caught with your skirt down!” That extra wire ensures your jig’s skirt remains secure, fish after fish.
Head Design
- Shaped to excel in a range of presentations—from flipping and pitching to casting and dragging.
- Streamlined profile for reduced snagging and smooth maneuverability around structure.
Hook Quality
- Outfitted with a sturdy, 4/0 OWNER Jungle 4X tournament-grade hook designed to handle the pressure of big fish and heavy cover.
- Sharp enough to penetrate quickly, while also being robust enough to resist bending under stress.
Skirt Material
- 100% hand-assembled with premium strands, wire-tied directly to the head for durability.
- Dense skirt flare for enticing underwater action, even on a slow fall.
Weight Options
- Available in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce heads. Multiple weight configurations ensure the versatility to fish different depths and conditions, from shallow docks to deep structure.
Flipping & Pitching
- Ideal for pinpoint presentations around docks, laydowns, and heavy cover.
- The streamlined head slips through tight spots, while the strong hook ensures a solid hold once you set the hook.
- Use a stout rod and heavier line to pull fish out of thick cover without worry.
Casting & Dragging
- If you’re targeting deeper structure or ledges, make a long cast, let it sink to the bottom, and drag it along slowly.
- The skirt flares with every hop, imitating injured prey and triggering strikes.
- Combine with a steady or stop-and-go retrieve to vary the presentation.
Swimming
- For a more active approach, cast and retrieve the jig steadily through open water or around submerged vegetation.
- The skirt pulsates to mimic baitfish movements, making it effective when fish are chasing moving targets.
- Speed up or slow down your retrieve to match the mood of the fish.
Skipping
- The compact shape allows for easy skipping under docks and overhanging cover.
- Perfect for reaching fish tucked away in hard-to-access areas.
- Practice a side-arm roll cast to get that low trajectory and smooth skip.
The Apex comes in a broad spectrum of color combinations suitable for any fishing condition or personal preference. The color selection prioritizes natural, fish-catching tones that blend seamlessly in a variety of water clarities, yet also includes more attention-grabbing patterns for times when fish need that extra visual stimulus. This emphasis on genuine forage-matching hues over purely “fisherman-catching” combos means you can confidently pick a color scheme that looks great to you—and even better to the fish.
- Pair the Apex with a classic chunk-style trailer for a bulkier profile.
- Thread the trailer onto the hook so the claws or tails flare naturally behind the skirt.
- Ideal for flipping and pitching, where a heavier “thump” can trigger reaction bites.
- If fish are keyed in on crawfish, a craw-style trailer brings lifelike action and thumping appendages to the mix.
- Rig the craw so its claws stand upright, imitating a defensive posture.
- Best for bottom contact presentations like dragging or hopping.
- When you need more bulk and vibration, consider a creature bait trailer with multiple appendages.
- This combination excels in dirty or stained water, giving fish extra cues to home in on.
- Slowing your retrieve allows those appendages to undulate and attract big bites.
- For a streamlined approach while swimming the jig or covering open water, a slender paddle tail pairs perfectly.
- The subtle kick of the tail entices fish that won’t commit to chunkier profiles.
- Works well for a range of retrieves, from slow-rolling to erratic stop-and-go.
