Booyah Mobster Swim Jig 5/16 The Cleaner
The Booyah Mobster Swim Jig in 5/16 oz, known as "The Cleaner," is a swim jig purpose-built for anglers who need a lure that powers through heavy cover without hanging up. Born from the bass clubs of Oklahoma and tested in the demanding waters of the Arkansas River, this jig combines a uniquely tapered head design with a stout weed guard to deliver a slight wag on the retrieve while shedding vegetation and brush. It's the right choice if you fish timber, grass, rocks, or any scenario where a jig needs to handle punishment and still produce.
The Mobster pairs a heavy-duty black nickel hook with a full skirt that maintains visibility and profile throughout the water column. A wire plastic keeper holds your chosen trailer securely in place, eliminating the frustration of it sliding during casting or after contact with cover. The overall construction reflects the kind of real-world testing that separates gear built for magazine features from gear built for consistent results.
Whether you're working a 5/16 oz profile because it suits your target depth, cover density, or preferred cadence, The Cleaner delivers the durability and snag-resistance that serious jig anglers expect. It's not a gimmick lure—it's a workhorse designed by people who fish hard water for a living.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trailers work with the Mobster Swim Jig?
The wire plastic keeper is designed to hold soft-plastic trailers securely. Use standard-size swim or action trailers that match your target species and local forage.
Is this jig good for heavy cover fishing?
Yes. The tapered head and stout weed guard are specifically engineered to move through dense vegetation, timber, and rocks while resisting hang-ups—a core reason it was developed for challenging river and brush conditions.
Why choose 5/16 oz?
The 5/16 oz weight is a versatile mid-range option. It allows you to fish a variety of depths and cover types without being so heavy that it sinks too fast or so light that it struggles in current or wind. Pick this size based on your target depth, cover density, and preferred retrieve speed.
