Spanish Mylar Jig from First Flight Lures
With the return of bluefish and spanish mackerel, it is time to stock up on jigs. Whether you are plugging from the pier or running around on the boat, the Spanish Mylar Jig from First Flight Lures is an excellent option for targeting these pelagic species due to its proven effectiveness and efficiency.
This single hook jig from First Flight Lures is available with numerous customization options so that anglers can either pick out or create the exact jig they would like to use. There are two head-style choices (hex-style and spear-style), three weight sizes (1/2 oz., 3/4 oz., and 1 oz.), and several color choices for both the mylar skirt and the thread used when hand-tied.
The hex-style head is characterized by its hexagonal head and slanted face, which generates a sharp, erratic darting motion, effectively simulating the frantic movements of a distressed baitfish. It performs below the water’s surface with a suspended “walk the dog” action that is similar to a Got-cha Plug that is best used in cast and retrieve efforts.
The spear-style head has a sleek, pointed design that minimizes water resistance and offers a more freestyle, vertical action that works most effectively when jigged off the bottom and up through the water column.
The two styles of jig heads come in 28 different colors, including Carolina Blue, Pink, Bright Green, White, and Black. The hand-tied mylar skirts are available in Crystal, Pink, and Chartreuse, and there are over a dozen choices when it comes to thread color.
The Spanish Mylar Jig offers numerous advantages when you’re out on the water and aiming to stay dialed in on pelagic species. The single hook design ensures that once a fish is hooked, it will stay pinned with steady pressure, reducing the risk of losing your catch. Additionally, the absence of treble hooks means pliers are not as necessary, making it easier and quicker to handle your catch.
Another advantage of using this lure is that it primarily hooks larger, quality fish. The single hook makes this lure more selective, avoiding smaller fish that won’t properly eat the bait and tend to throw their bodies at the lure.
