SKU: MJMF-MISSILE BAITS
Overview
Built for fishing heavy cover, this compact flipping jig is designed to move through dense vegetation while staying balanced on the fall. Its angled weedguard and fine-cut skirt are intended to support a more natural presentation with minimal movement, making it a practical choice when working tight, demanding water. The weight centered around the hook shank helps it maintain bottom contact in current, and the compact profile is suited to situations where a smaller jig is preferred. Color options selected by Ike and Crews add another layer of presentation choice without changing the jig’s straightforward, cover-focused purpose.

- Color selection is limited to the range hand-picked by Ike and Crews, so options depend on the available lineup.
