The quality gold hooks are sized and tempered to stick when you set the hook, and the painted jig heads are finished to exacting standards. The Chart/Silver/Blue color combination is a proven producer that generates bites in clear to moderately stained water.

Whether you're a tournament angler dialing in presentations or a weekend crappie hunter looking for a reliable standby, the Slater Original Jig delivers the hand-crafted quality and proven fish-catching design that have made it a staple in tackle boxes for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size crappie can I catch on a 1/8-ounce jig?

Is the Slater Original Jig good for shallow water fishing?
Yes. The 1/8-ounce weight is well-suited to shallow presentations around brush, docks, and standing timber where a light touch and slow fall are advantages. The kip tail and streamers provide action even at minimal speeds.
What's included in the 12-count caddy?
You receive 12 Slater Original Jigs in the 1/8-ounce Chart/Silver/Blue color configuration, packaged in a caddy for organization and protection during transport and storage.
Can I use the Slater Original Jig with live bait?
The jig is designed to fish effectively on its own with its chenille body, kip tail, and streamers providing attraction and action. Check your local regulations regarding live bait use in your area.
