Missile Ike's Mini Flip Jig 1/2 California Love

The Missile Ike's Mini Flip Jig in 1/2 ounce, California Love colorway, is a compact flipping jig designed to handle heavy cover without the bulk. Co-created by Mike Iaconelli and John Crews, this jig brings serious performance to tight quarters—docks, matted vegetation, laydowns, and brush piles where a standard jig struggles. The mini profile delivers that finesse presentation anglers want when bass are pressured or cover is particularly dense.

What sets this flipping jig apart is its engineering. The weight is centered on the hook shank for exceptional balance, a feature that translates directly to better hook sets and more predictable fall through cover. That balanced design, combined with the compact footprint and a precisely angled weed guard, lets you punch through nasty vegetation and extract your rig without snagging nearly as often. You get precision and efficiency where you need it most.

The California Love color works well in a range of water conditions, giving you a proven pattern right out of the pack. Whether you're fishing clear to lightly stained water or targeting bass in heavy shade, this colorway has proven its worth on the water. One jig comes per pack, so stock a few if you find yourself fishing tight cover regularly.
