The Submission Fishing Jigs SumoΒ is so versatile that when it's tied on the eye side, the heavy belly of the jig will slide through the water column allowing you to fish underneath docks, pilings, and other hard to reach places.Β When tied from the belly side, it will have a more traditional vertical fall. With a wobbling, leaf-like action, the squat, round-belly shape of this jig falls into the depths of the ocean to entice saltwater bay bass as well as many others. The Sumo's compact design also allows you to use a heavier jig in a smaller presentation for precision fishing. Perfect for fishing shallow docks or 60 ft of kelp beds (the 40 and 60g are perfect for kelp) with a heavy tide swing.Β
Submission Jigs The Sumo comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.
All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.
Submission Fishing Jigs Mercenary is effective in many conditions.Β Β Whether you're casting out on a boat for pelagic, vertical fishing for bass off the docks, or casting from shore, the Slow Death Mercenary jig can be very productive. This jig's unique shape produces a fluttering, twirling action on the fall and an erratic swimming action on the retrieve. It can be fished vertically or cast and retrieved. Itβs the ultimate dying baitfish imitator, and greedy fish wonβt be able to resist.
Submission Jigs MercenaryΒ comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.
All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.
Jig was renamed to Mercenary in March of 2024.
The Tungsten Advantage for Serious Offshore Jigging
When SoCal bluefin are finicky and deep, the JF Jigging Tungsten Steel Jigs give you the edge. Crafted from premium tungsten β 1.74x denser than lead β these 300g jigs sink faster, cut through current with less drag, and present a compact baitfish profile that triggers strikes from even the most selective predators. Whether you're vertical jigging in 300 feet of water or casting into a feeding frenzy, the JF Tungsten delivers where lead jigs fall short.

Tackle Express Tips:
- Attach the JF Jigging Assist Hooks in 5/0 to the tie point of the jig.Β Use a split ring and solid ring configuration increase hookup rate and less line failures.
- Use metered braided line so you know the depth you're fishing.Β Listen closely to how deep the captain says the fish are and match that depth with the metered 100ft per color line.Β
- If you're dropping the jig in open water and it stops, you're bit so start turn the handle until the rod loads up.Β Whatever you do, don't swing the rod you'll pull the lure out of the fishes mouth.

The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 130g is the step-up weight for anglers who've maxed out the 100g and need a jig that cuts through current and reaches deeper structure without going full offshore. At 4.58 oz, it maintains the same center-balanced, horizontal wobble that defines the Flat-Fall series and comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone in seconds. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, erratic wobble that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't commit to a faster presentation.
When the 100g Starts Drifting
As current picks up or depth increases, lighter jigs lose their vertical presentation and drift too far off course to trigger the horizontal fall action. The 130g is the natural next step β enough additional weight to stay on track in moderate current and reach fish holding at 100β250 ft, while still falling slowly enough to keep the jig in the strike zone longer than a nose-down presentation.
Rigged and Ready
The 130g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord β open the package and start fishing. The stinger setup maximizes hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing.
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing 100β250 ft where the 100g is starting to drift off vertical
- Current is picking up and lighter jigs are losing their horizontal fall action
- You're targeting yellowtail, tuna, or large rockfish in deeper nearshore structure
- You want a rigged, ready-to-fish jig with proven Owner hooks
- You need a step up from the 100g without jumping all the way to the 160g
Best Fishing Techniques
- Free-spool drop β drop to the bottom, crank up 30 feet, then free-spool and let the jig fall on a slack line; the horizontal wobble does the work
- Cast and fall β cast the jig, free-spool as it sinks, wait for the bite, then jerk and repeat; effective on yellowtail and bonito near the surface
- Mid-depth structure jigging β work the jig along the bottom for lingcod and large rockfish on rocky structure
- Slow pitch jigging β rhythmic lifts and drops to keep the jig in the zone and trigger strikes from suspended fish
Best Conditions
- Nearshore and light offshore water β 100β250 ft over reefs, ledges, and structure
- Moderate current where the 100g is starting to drift off vertical
- When fish are holding deeper and the 100g can't reach the zone efficiently
- Mixed-species situations where yellowtail, tuna, and large rockfish are all in the spread
Best For
- Species: Yellowtail, Bluefin Tuna, Lingcod, Large Rockfish, Bonito, Mixed Pelagics
- Techniques: Free-spool drop, cast and fall, mid-depth structure jigging, slow pitch
- Rigging: Comes rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on PowerPro 250 lb assist
Key Features

Tackle Express Tips
- Match color to local forage and depth: Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy are natural matches for the sardine and anchovy forage common in Southern California. Chartreuse White and Pink Blue shine in clear water. Super Glow and Zebra Glow add visibility at depth β at 130g you're often fishing deep enough that glow colors can make a real difference.
- Let the fall do the work: The Flat-Fall's action is in the drop β free-spool on a slack line and let the horizontal wobble trigger the bite. Most strikes happen on the fall, not the retrieve. Resist the urge to jig aggressively, especially when fish are being selective.
- Use the 130g as your current indicator: If your 100g is starting to drift off vertical but the 160g feels like overkill, the 130g is the right call. It's the most precise step-up in the lineup for dialing in your fall speed as conditions change throughout the day.
FAQ
Does the 130g Butterfly Flat-Fall come with hooks?
Yes β the 130g comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord. It's ready to fish straight out of the package with no additional rigging required.
What depth range is the 130g best suited for?
The 130g is most effective in 100β250 ft of water in moderate current. It's the right choice when the 100g is starting to drift off vertical and you need a bit more weight to maintain the horizontal fall action without jumping all the way to the 160g.
How does the 130g fit into the Flat-Fall lineup?
The 130g sits between the 100g (best for 50β200 ft in light current) and the 160g (best for 150β300 ft in moderate to strong current). It's the precision step-up weight for anglers who need just a bit more than the 100g to stay on track as depth or current increases. The 350g is the heaviest in the lineup, targets big bluefin and ling cod in deep water, and ships unrigged; all other weights come rigged.
The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 200g is the go-to weight for West Coast anglers targeting yellowtail, mixed-species pelagics, and tuna in moderate depths. Center-balanced for a slow, horizontal wobble on the fall, the 200g stays in the strike zone longer than any nose-down jig and comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist β ready to fish straight out of the package.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone in seconds. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, erratic wobble that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't chase a fast-moving presentation.
When the Bite Goes Quiet
Yellowtail and pelagics can be notoriously fickle β marking on sonar but refusing to commit to anything that moves too fast. The 200g Flat-Fall's slow, horizontal wobble gives suspended fish time to track, react, and eat. It's the jig you reach for when the iron isn't getting bit and you need something that stays in the zone long enough to trigger a reaction.
Rigged and Ready
The 200g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist cord. The stinger setup maximizes hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing β a common occurrence with yellowtail and finicky tuna.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match color to bait and conditions: Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy are natural matches for the sardine and anchovy forage common on the West Coast. Chartreuse White and Pink Blue shine in clear water. Super Glow and Zebra Glow are go-to choices at depth or in low-light β carry a mix and let the fish decide on the day.
- Let the fall do the work: Resist the urge to jig aggressively. The Flat-Fall's action is in the drop β free-spool on a slack line and let the horizontal wobble trigger the bite. Most strikes happen on the fall, not the retrieve.
- Size up in heavy current: The 200g is ideal in moderate current and depths up to ~250 ft. If you're fishing deeper water or strong current and the jig is drifting too far off vertical, step up to the 250g or 350g to stay in the zone.
FAQ
Does the 200g Butterfly Flat-Fall come with hooks?
Yes β the 200g comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist cord. It's ready to fish straight out of the package with no additional rigging required.
How does the 200g compare to the 250g and 350g versions?
All three share the same center-balanced, horizontal flat-fall design. The 200g (7.05 oz) is best for moderate depths and lighter current β ideal for yellowtail and mixed-species jigging. The 250g suits slightly deeper water or stronger current, and the 350g is designed for deep water and heavy current targeting big bluefin and ling cod. The 350g ships unrigged; the 200g and 250g come rigged.
Which color should I choose for yellowtail?
Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy are top producers for yellowtail when sardines and anchovies are the primary forage. Chartreuse White is a reliable all-around choice in clear water. Purple Silver and Pink Blue can be effective when fish are being selective. Start with Blue Sardine or Chartreuse White and adjust based on what the fish are responding to.
The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 250g brings the same horizontal flat-fall action that West Coast anglers trust for big tuna β in a lighter, more versatile weight that covers a wider range of depths, species, and conditions. Center-balanced for a slow, erratic wobble on the fall, the 250g stays in the strike zone longer than any nose-down jig and comes ready to fish with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone fast. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, wobbling action that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't chase.
When Fast-Falling Jigs Leave Fish Behind
Suspended tuna and pelagics don't always commit to a jig that blows past them in seconds. The Flat-Fall's slow, horizontal wobble gives fish time to track, react, and eat β making it one of the most effective presentations when fish are marking on sonar but not responding to faster techniques. The 250g weight is particularly effective in shallower water or lighter current where a heavier jig would fall too fast.
Rigged and Ready
Unlike the 350g version, the 250g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist cord β open the package and start fishing. The stinger hook setup is designed to maximize hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match color to bait and conditions: Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy are natural matches for the sardine and anchovy forage common on the West Coast. Pink Blue and Chartreuse White shine in cleaner water. Super Glow and Zebra Glow are go-to choices at depth or in low-light conditions β carry a mix and let the fish decide.
- Let the fall do the work: Resist the urge to jig aggressively. The Flat-Fall's action is in the drop β free-spool on a slack line and let the horizontal wobble trigger the bite. Most strikes happen on the fall, not the retrieve.
- Use the 250g when current is light: In heavier current or deeper water, step up to the 350g to maintain the right fall speed. The 250g is at its best in 100β300 ft of water with moderate current where the horizontal wobble has time to develop before the jig hits bottom.
FAQ
Does the 250g Butterfly Flat-Fall come with hooks?
Yes β unlike the 350g version which ships unrigged, the 250g comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 300 lb assist cord. It's ready to fish straight out of the package.
What's the difference between the 250g and 350g Butterfly Flat-Fall?
Both share the same center-balanced, horizontal flat-fall design. The 250g is lighter (8.81 oz) and better suited for shallower water, lighter current, and mid-depth presentations. The 350g is designed for deeper water and stronger current where you need more weight to reach the zone and maintain fall speed. The 250g also comes rigged; the 350g does not.
Which color should I choose?
Match the hatch when possible β Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy for sardine and anchovy forage; Chartreuse White and Green Silver in clear water; Super Glow and Zebra Glow at depth or in low-light. When in doubt, start with Blue Sardine or Chartreuse White and adjust based on what the fish are responding to on the day.
The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 160g is the heavy-duty nearshore and light offshore weight in the Flat-Fall lineup β built for anglers who need to reach fish holding deeper or in stronger current without stepping all the way up to the 200g. At 5.64 oz, it falls with the same center-balanced, horizontal wobble that defines the Flat-Fall series, and comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone in seconds. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, erratic wobble that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't commit to a faster presentation.
When Lighter Jigs Can't Reach the Zone
In deeper nearshore water or when current picks up, the 80g and 100g drift too far off vertical and lose their horizontal fall action before reaching the fish. The 160g cuts through the current more efficiently, reaches the zone faster, and still falls slowly enough to trigger strikes from suspended fish. It's the right call when you're fishing 150β300 ft or dealing with current that's pushing lighter jigs off course.
Rigged and Ready
The 160g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord β open the package and start fishing. The stinger setup maximizes hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing.
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing 150β300 ft of water where lighter jigs drift off course
- Current is strong enough to push 80β100g jigs off vertical
- You're targeting yellowtail, tuna, or large rockfish in deeper nearshore structure
- You want a rigged, ready-to-fish jig with proven Owner hooks
- You need more weight than the 100g but don't want to go full offshore with the 200g

Tackle Express Tips
- Match color to depth and conditions: Blue Sardine and Black Anchovy are natural matches for the sardine and anchovy forage common in Southern California. Chartreuse White and Green Silver shine in clear water. Super Glow and Zebra Glow are go-to choices at depth or in low-light β at 160g you're often fishing deep enough that glow colors make a real difference.
- Let the fall do the work: The Flat-Fall's action is in the drop β free-spool on a slack line and let the horizontal wobble trigger the bite. Most strikes happen on the fall, not the retrieve. At 160g, the jig has enough weight to maintain its horizontal orientation even in moderate current.
- Use the 160g as your current gauge: If your 100g is drifting too far off vertical, the 160g is usually the right step up. If the 160g is still drifting, move to the 200g. Matching jig weight to current speed is the single biggest factor in getting the right fall action at depth.
FAQ
Does the 160g Butterfly Flat-Fall come with hooks?
Yes β the 160g comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord. It's ready to fish straight out of the package with no additional rigging required.
What depth range is the 160g best suited for?
The 160g is most effective in 150β300 ft of water in moderate to strong current. It's the right choice when lighter weights (80β100g) are drifting too far off vertical and you need more weight to reach the zone and maintain the horizontal fall action.
How does the 160g fit into the Flat-Fall lineup?
The 160g bridges the gap between the lighter inshore weights (80g, 100g) and the heavier offshore weights (200g, 250g). It's ideal for deeper nearshore structure and situations where current is too strong for lighter jigs but you don't need the full weight of the 200g. The 350g is the heaviest in the lineup, targets big bluefin and ling cod in deep water, and ships unrigged; all other weights come rigged.
The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 80g is the lightest and most versatile weight in the Flat-Fall lineup β purpose-built for mid-water column fishing where a slow, horizontal fall triggers strikes from fish that won't chase. At 2.82 oz, it's the go-to choice for inshore and nearshore species in shallower water, and comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone in seconds. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, erratic wobble that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't commit to a faster presentation.
Why Heavier Jigs Miss Shallow Fish
In shallower water or lighter current, a 200g or 250g jig falls too fast β it blows through the strike zone before fish have time to react. The 80g is designed for exactly these conditions, falling slowly enough to stay in the zone and trigger strikes from suspended fish holding at mid-depth. It's the right tool when you're fishing 30β120 ft of water and need a jig that works the column, not just the bottom.
Rigged and Ready
The 80g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord β open the package and start fishing. The stinger setup maximizes hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing.
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing shallower inshore or nearshore water (30β120 ft)
- Fish are suspended mid-column and not responding to heavier jigs
- You want a slow, deliberate fall that stays in the strike zone longer
- You're targeting calico bass, yellowtail, bonito, or mixed inshore species
- You want a rigged, ready-to-fish jig with proven Owner hooks
Best Fishing Techniques
- Free-spool drop β drop to the bottom, crank up 30 feet, then free-spool and let the jig fall on a slack line; the horizontal wobble does the work
- Cast and fall β cast the jig, free-spool as it sinks, wait for the bite, then jerk and repeat; effective on surface-feeding bonito and yellowtail
- Mid-water column jigging β work the jig through the column with short, rhythmic lifts to keep it in front of suspended fish
- Slow pitch jigging β ideal in shallower water where a slow, deliberate presentation outperforms aggressive jigging
Best Conditions
- Inshore and nearshore saltwater β kelp beds, rocky structure, and shallow reefs
- Shallower water (30β120 ft) where heavier jigs fall too fast
- Light current conditions where the 80g maintains the right fall speed
- When fish are marking mid-column and not responding to faster or heavier presentations

Tackle Express Tips
- Match color to local forage: Black Anchovy and Blue Sardine are natural matches for the baitfish most commonly found in Southern California kelp and nearshore zones. Chartreuse White and Pink Blue shine in clear water. Super Glow and Zebra Glow add visibility in deeper or low-light conditions even at this lighter weight.
- Let the fall do the work: The Flat-Fall's action is in the drop β free-spool on a slack line and let the horizontal wobble trigger the bite. Most strikes happen on the fall, not the retrieve. Resist the urge to jig aggressively, especially in shallower water where fish have more time to inspect the bait.
- Size up when current picks up: The 80g is ideal in light to moderate current. If the jig is drifting too far off vertical or not reaching the zone, step up to the 200g or 250g. Matching jig weight to current speed is the single biggest factor in getting the right fall action.
FAQ
Does the 80g Butterfly Flat-Fall come with hooks?
Yes β the 80g comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord. It's ready to fish straight out of the package with no additional rigging required.
What depth range is the 80g best suited for?
The 80g is designed for shallower inshore and nearshore water, typically 30β120 ft in light to moderate current. In deeper water or stronger current, the jig may drift too far off vertical and lose its horizontal fall action β step up to the 200g or 250g for those conditions.
How does the 80g compare to the heavier Flat-Fall weights?
All weights share the same center-balanced, horizontal flat-fall design. The 80g (2.82 oz) is the lightest and slowest-falling, best for shallow inshore fishing and mid-column presentations. The 200g and 250g are suited for deeper offshore water and stronger current. The 350g is designed for deep water targeting big bluefin and ling cod and ships unrigged; all other weights come rigged.
The Shimano Butterfly Flat-Fall Jig 100g sits in the sweet spot of the Flat-Fall lineup β heavy enough to reach fish holding at depth, light enough to fall slowly and stay in the strike zone. At 3.52 oz, it's a versatile mid-range weight that covers yellowtail, tuna, calico bass, and mixed-species jigging from nearshore kelp beds to offshore structure. Comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord.
The Flat-Fall Advantage
Most jigs fall nose-down and blow through the strike zone in seconds. The Butterfly Flat-Fall is center-balanced, so it falls horizontally in a wide, erratic wobble that mimics a dying baitfish. That horizontal fall keeps the jig in front of fish longer on every drop β and that extra hang time is often the difference between a bite and a miss on fish that won't commit to a faster presentation.
The Gap Between Too Light and Too Heavy
The 80g falls beautifully in shallow water but can struggle to reach fish in deeper structure. The 200g gets down fast but can blow through the zone in lighter current. The 100g fills that gap β it falls slowly enough to trigger strikes from suspended fish while still reaching mid-depth structure efficiently. It's the most versatile weight in the lineup for mixed-species inshore and nearshore jigging.
Rigged and Ready
The 100g Butterfly Flat-Fall comes fully rigged with two Owner dancing stinger hooks on a PowerPro 250 lb assist cord β open the package and start fishing. The stinger setup maximizes hook-up rates on fish that strike short or swipe at the jig without fully committing.
The Right Pick If...

When You Need to Go Deeper and Hit Harder
The Nomad Tackle Streaker Jig 420g is the heaviest jig in the Streaker lineup β purpose-built for extreme depth, heavy current, and the kind of big-game targets that demand serious hardware. At 15 oz, it drops fast, stays vertical in strong current, and delivers the same erratic, darting action that makes the Streaker series so effective. When the fish are holding at 300, 400, or 500+ feet and lighter jigs can't reach the zone, the 420g gets the job done.
Built for the Conditions That Break Other Jigs
Extreme depth and big fish are a brutal combination. The 420g Streaker is engineered to handle both. Gorilla Through-Wire construction runs a full wire through the entire body, so even a 100 lb bluefin can't pull the hook hardware free. Triple Shield Protection finish resists corrosion and chipping through repeated drops and hard strikes. And the BKK 5X Assist 5/0 hooks are heavy-duty enough to handle whatever you're targeting. This is a jig you can trust when the stakes are high.
Why Heavy Wins at Depth
At extreme depths, lighter jigs lose their action β current pushes them off angle, they take too long to reach the strike zone, and by the time they get there the school has moved. The 420g Streaker cuts through current, sinks fast, and maintains a vertical presentation even in heavy drift conditions. More time in the zone means more bites, and more bites at depth means more fish in the boat.
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing 200β600+ ft for bluefin, yellowfin, or large amberjack
- Current is strong and lighter jigs won't stay vertical
- You need maximum sink rate to reach fish before the school moves
- You're targeting trophy-class fish that require heavy-duty hooks and construction
- You're on a long-range trip where depth and current are constant challenges
Best Fishing Techniques
- High-Pitch Jigging: Fast, sharp upward rod strokes with a quick drop β the Streaker's erratic flutter on the fall triggers strikes even at extreme depth
- Speed Jigging: Continuous medium-to-fast retrieve with the rod tip low β keeps the jig swimming tight and aggressive through the water column
- Vertical Jigging: Drop to depth, engage, and work back up with varied cadence β most effective when fish are stacked tight on structure or bait
Best Conditions
- Deep water: 200β600+ ft
- Heavy current where only a 420g+ jig maintains a vertical presentation
- Offshore seamounts, deep structure, and open-water bait schools
- Clear to moderate visibility β natural patterns like Blue Sardine and Crimson Tide shine here
- Low-light and deep conditions β glow variants (Rasta Glow, Full Glow Pink, Silver Glow Stripe, Glow Pink Mackerel) are standout producers
Best For
- Species: Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowtail, Large Amberjack, Wahoo
- Techniques: High-pitch jigging, speed jigging, vertical jigging
- Scenarios: Long-range offshore trips, extreme deep-water structure fishing, heavy-current conditions
Key Features
- Streaker Swim Action β erratic, darting movement that triggers reaction bites at extreme depth
- Gorilla Through-Wire Construction β full-body wire for maximum strength on trophy-class fish

Tackle Express Tips
- Match your rod to the weight: A 420g jig needs a rod rated for heavy jigging β look for a stick rated 300β500g or a dedicated speed jigging rod. Using an undersized rod kills the action and risks breakage on a big fish.
- Go glow first: At the depths the 420g is designed for, natural light is minimal. Start with Rasta Glow, Full Glow Pink, or Glow Pink Mackerel and charge them with a UV light between drops. Switch to natural patterns if glow isn't producing.
- Watch your line angle: Even at 420g, strong current can push your line off vertical. If your angle exceeds 30β40 degrees, reposition the boat or add more weight. A diagonal presentation dramatically reduces the jig's effectiveness.
FAQ
How does the 420g compare to the 200g and 320g Streaker?
The 420g is the top of the Streaker lineup β built for the deepest water, strongest current, and largest fish. Use the 200g for depths under 150 ft, the 320g for 150β300 ft in moderate current, and the 420g when you're pushing 300+ ft or dealing with heavy drift.
What rod and reel setup should I use with the 420g Streaker?
Look for a heavy jigging rod rated 300β500g paired with a high-speed jigging reel (6:1+ gear ratio). Spool with 80β100 lb braid and run a 100β150 lb fluorocarbon leader. For toothy species, go heavier on the leader.
What's Rasta Glow and when should I use it?
Rasta Glow is a multi-color glow pattern that combines green, red, and yellow tones with a glow finish. It's a standout producer in low-light conditions and at extreme depth where natural light doesn't reach. It's one of the most popular colors in the 420g lineup for a reason.
Built for the Deep End of the Water Column
The Nomad Tackle Streaker Jig 320g is the heavier sibling in the Streaker lineup β built for anglers who fish deep, fast, and hard. At 11 oz, it cuts through current and reaches depth quickly, getting into the strike zone before the school moves. The long, slender profile with a slightly flat back creates an erratic, darting action that triggers reaction strikes from predators that won't commit to anything slow. When the fish are holding deep and the bite window is short, the 320g Streaker is the jig you reach for.
When the 200g Isn't Enough
Strong current, deep structure, and big fish demand more weight. The 320g Streaker sinks faster, stays down in heavy current, and handles the kind of drag pressure that comes with targeting large yellowtail, bluefin, and amberjack. The extra mass also gives you more authority on the hookset β critical when you're fishing 200+ feet down with a long braid run. If you've been losing fish or struggling to stay vertical in current, stepping up to the 320g is often the fix.
What Standard Wire Gets Wrong
Big fish don't give you second chances. Standard jig construction can fail at the hook hardware when a large fish runs hard β the body separates and the fish is gone. Nomad's Gorilla Through-Wire construction runs a full wire through the entire body, so even the most violent strikes and runs can't pull the hardware free. Paired with Triple Shield Protection finish that resists corrosion and chipping, this jig is built to stay in the water and keep producing.
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing 150β500+ ft for tuna, yellowtail, or amberjack
- Current is strong and lighter jigs won't stay vertical
- You need a fast-sinking profile to reach depth before the school moves
- You're targeting big fish that require heavier hardware and stronger hooks
- You want a jig that matches sardine, mackerel, or larger baitfish profiles
Best Fishing Techniques
- High-Pitch Jigging: Fast, sharp upward rod strokes with a quick drop β the Streaker's erratic flutter on the fall is a key trigger at depth
- Speed Jigging: Continuous medium-to-fast retrieve with the rod tip low β keeps the jig swimming tight and aggressive through the water column
- Vertical Jigging: Drop to depth, engage, and work back up with varied cadence β effective when fish are stacked on structure

Tackle Express Tips
- Stay vertical: At 320g, the Streaker is designed to cut through current β but if you're getting too much angle on your line, move to a heavier rod or adjust your drift position. A vertical presentation is always more effective than a diagonal one.
- Go glow in the deep: Below 200 ft, Full Glow Pink, Pink Glow Mackerel, and Silver Glow Stripe are standout producers. Charge them with a UV light between drops for maximum effect.
- Let the drop do the work: On the freefall, keep slight tension on the line so you can feel the hit β big fish often eat the Streaker on the way down before you even start your retrieve.
FAQ
What's the difference between the 200g and 320g Streaker?
The 320g is built for deeper water, stronger current, and larger fish. If you're fishing under 150 ft in moderate current, the 200g is usually sufficient. Step up to the 320g when depth, current, or target species demand more weight and heavier hooks.
What line and leader should I use with the Streaker 320g?
Most anglers run 65β100 lb braid with an 80β130 lb fluorocarbon leader. Heavier leader is recommended when targeting toothy species like wahoo or when fishing around structure where abrasion is a concern.
Which color should I start with?
Sardine and Blue Sardine are great all-around starting points in clear water. In deeper or darker conditions, go with Full Glow Pink, Pink Glow Mackerel, or Silver Glow Stripe. Crimson Tide and Black Pink Mackerel are solid choices when fish are keyed on darker baitfish.

-
25% Thinner Profile: Utilizes next-gen Honeywell Spectra HT fiber to be 25% thinner than standard Power Pro of the same pound test. This allows you to pack more line on a smaller reel or use a heavier breaking strength on your current setup.
-
Precision Metering: Features a repeating pattern of five colors (blue, yellow, red, green, and orange) that change every 100 feet. This mimics the Depth-Hunter Offshore pattern, making it easy to return to the strike zone repeatedly.
-
Advanced Construction: The 4-end construction is treated with Enhanced Body Technology (EBT), resulting in a rounder, smoother line that offers increased sensitivity for strike detection and reduced friction for longer casts.
-
Reduced Drag: The thinner diameter creates less water resistance, which is critical for deep-dropping as it allows you to use less lead weight to reach and hold the bottom.
