Crafted with the insight of Travis Manson – smallmouth aficionado, fishing guide, and media owner at Smallmouth Crush, the Beast Coast Tungsten Compound OW Sniper Jig is ready to wreak havoc on pressured clear-water fish. By eliminating the weedguard which is often unnecessary around rock bottoms, flats, and humps with minimal grass and cover, the Open Water Sniper Jig is perfect for chasing big bass with a design that offers improved hook penetration.
Fitted with a sticky sharp 2/0 BKK Black Nickel 90-degree Needlepoint Hook, this compact jig is made from a highly dense tungsten compound and features a lead-free construction that transmits tons of sensitivity while being just soft enough to be pulled free from rocky snags. Equipped with hand-tied short-cut skirts, molded size stamps for easy identification, and a double barbed bait keeper, the Beast Coast Tungsten Compound OW Sniper Jig delivers tournament-caliber performance perfect for hard-bottom fisheries.
Please Note: Hybrid colors feature marabou tied along the keeper for durability and work best with chunk style trailers.
Bent HooksThe jigs look great and fish well. However the quality control isn’t great. Made a big order of these jigs and had multiple show up with hooks that were bent out right out of the package. Seems odd to me.

Perfect little jigIf you're fishing bare bottom, gravel, or chunk rock, this is the jig to get. Great bottom feel with the textured head and tungsten compound. Sharp hook that holds up even after hours of dragging it and getting snagged on boulders. Hook wire gauge is a good compromise between strength and penetration ability; it will probably bend out if you use 20lb test and catch a 4-5 pound fish without loosening your drag, but if you play it right it holds up perfectly.

One of the only little football jigs you needGreat hook. Overall design is perfect... it's small, there's not a big gap for skirts... just a small hand-tied skirt knot and head. The smallmouth love this jig, it's subtle. Also, as someone that fishes many finesse footballs, you do not need the weedguard in 90% of scenarios, and the weedguards on most finesse footballs aren't suitable for actual cover anyways.

Comments: This keeper style holds a keitech swimbait better than any other style I've ever fished. This alone is a reason I buy them, but they have an awesome hook as well and the skirt options cover just about any situation I have.

Comments: Put a little swimbait or baby rage on these and go catch smallmouth. Hook is strong enough for big largemouth as well. hand tying is really nice. Nice little jig.

Comments: These little jugs will help you catch more fish especially in pressured or clear water. I fish these in the same places you would typically fish a tube. Put your favorite finesse trailer on it. Drag it, drop it, or crawl it back through cover and you will get bit!
