Missile Ikes Mico Jig 3/16oz Straight Black

The Missile Baits Ikes Micro Jig in 3/16 oz is a compact finesse jig engineered by 2003 Bassmaster Classic Champion Mike Iaconelli for situations where oversized presentations backfire. Designed specifically for cold-water fishing and pressured bass that have seen every trick in the book, this jig strips away unnecessary bulk and focuses on what actually catches fish in tough conditions. The straight-body profile in black delivers a natural, subtle profile that doesn't spook wary fish—ideal when suspended or near heavy cover where a jig needs to slip through gaps without snagging.

What sets the Ikes Micro apart is its hybrid head shape, engineered to balance around the hook eye itself. That design cuts snags when you're working around brush, stumps, and rocks, while giving you the bottom feedback you need to detect gravel, sand, and clay transitions. You'll feel the difference between a hard bottom and soft mud—crucial intel when you're trying to trigger bites from finicky bass. The jig rides on a razor-sharp #1 Gamakatsu hook, a choice that pays off with quick, reliable penetration and enough strength to handle decent fish even at this lighter weight.

Each pack includes two jigs and two spare weed guards, so you've got backup when one snags on submerged wood or gets bent on a hard strike. This is a true utility jig for spring and fall shallow-water work, winter deep-water drops, or any day when fish demand something smaller and more natural than your standard casting jig.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I throw a micro jig instead of a standard casting jig?

A micro jig like the Ikes shines in cold water, around heavily pressured fish, and when you need a subtle presentation in shallow cover. The 3/16 oz weight is also ideal for finesse situations where heavier jigs spook fish or don't match the natural food size.

Will this jig hang up on structure?

The hybrid head shape is designed to balance around the hook and reduce hang-ups when you're fishing around brush, rocks, and timber. That said, no jig is snag-proof—the design simply minimizes problems when you're working tight cover.

What's included in the package?

You get two jigs and two spare weed guards, giving you a backup rig and extra guard coverage if one gets damaged or torn.

What hook size and style does this jig use?

The Ikes Micro is built on a #1 Gamakatsu hook, known for a sharp point and strong wire for reliable penetration and hook-ups.
