Buckeye G-Man Ballin Out 2 3/8 Perfect Craw

The Buckeye G-Man Ballin Out 2 3/8 Perfect Craw is a fully skirted finesse jig built on the design that helped BASS Elite angler Gerald Swindle earn Angler of the Year honors in 2016. This jig delivers versatility across cover types—brush, stick-ups, dense weeds—without forcing you to re-tie for different situations. The rounded ball head design adapts to whatever the water throws at you, whether you're fishing shallow grass or thick timber.

The Ballin Out 2 steps up from Swindle's original with a heavier, banded full skirt that creates a bulkier profile and more robust action when bass are looking for that extra presence in the water column. The Perfect Craw color option matches the natural forage many freshwater bass hunt, making it an effective choice across seasons and regions. Built with a Gamakatsu hook—stout, sharp, and built for solid hook-setting power—this jig won't let fish throw free once you're connected.

The fiber weed guard is precisely trimmed to slip through heavy cover without compromising your hook-up percentage. That balance between penetration and durability matters when you're fishing grass or brush on the regular. Whether you're a finesse jig purist or you want a single lure that handles multiple scenarios, the Ballin Out 2 earns its spot in any serious bass angler's tackle box.
