Meet 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.


Specifications
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.


Fishing Techniques
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
Color Options

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.


Rigging Techniques & Trailer Recommendations
  1. Standard Jig Trailer

    • 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.
  2. Craw-Style Trailer

    • 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.
  3. Creature Bait Trailer

    • 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.
  4. Slim Paddle Tail Trailer

    • 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.
