MUSTAD has released a range of bucktail jigs designed for everything from fishing fresh water through to the deepest saltwater ledges.
Built on the 32824NP-BN 2X strong hook, the Mustad Big Eye Bucktail Jig features two line-tie positions to give the angler options. The nose tie allows the angler to cast and retrieve the jig, mimicking a swimming action.
The top tie point enables a more traditional jigging retrieve. But don’t think there are only two uses for these jigs, because clever anglers are already fitting them out for trolling dead baits for mackerel and more.
Featuring oversized 3D eyes, the Big Eye Bucktail Jig has hand-tied deer hair and Crystal Flash to give the jigs an appearance of life while being used.
There is also a keeper wire located near the lead head that allows soft plastic trailers to be fitted, as well as baits. An epoxy finish gives the head durability against the elements and fish and the eight colours in the range allow every angler to use the colour they want.
Sizes range from a 3/4oz jig with a 5/0 hook all the way through to a massive 8oz jig fitted with a 9/0 hook.

I’m trying to get mustard bucktail jig in white, 3oz. Require 4 of these jigs if possible, or can you direct me to the nearest place to buy them. I’m living near the Gold Coast in Queensland.
Hi Vic, and of the local tackle store that stock Mustad will either have them or be able to order them in. I’d drop into you local and ask them. Otherwise jump onto http://www.wilsonfishing.com and there is a search option there to find your closest retail outlet. Hope that helps. Cheers, BNB Fishing Team.
