Ugly Bug Saltwater Jig (1-3 oz.)

Gapen Ugly Bug Saltwater - Heavy Anti-Snag Jig

The Gapen Ugly Bug Saltwater is the heavy-duty saltwater version of the Ugly Bug anti-snag jig. After two years of research, this model was proven effective on tarpon, snapper, grouper, roosterfish, halibut, snook, and tuna. It features extra-strong cadmium-plated hooks and is available in 1 oz, 1.5 oz, 2 oz, and 3 oz sizes ideal for 30–100 feet of water.

The same wide-forward pivot-head design that walks rocky structure in freshwater continues to reduce hang-ups in saltwater environments while delivering the classic stand-up and level-balance action.
