Strike King Hack Attack Fluoro Flippin’ Jig
Description and Application: Braid is the pros' line of choice for many heavy-duty flipping situations, but a different approach may be required in clearer water. The Strike King Hack Attack Fluorocarbon Flipping Jig, designed by 14-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Greg Hackney, answers that need perfectly. Specifically adapted for use with fluoro line, this version of the popular Hack Attack jig features a more compact head molded onto a super-strong custom siwash hook. Its large 0-degree line tie is ideal for tying with fluorocarbon and provides direct inline energy transfer for superb hook setting with less line stress. Extremely weedless, the Strike King Hack Attack Fluoro Flipping Jig effectively changes the game for bass anglers in search of a stealth presentation. The jigs come in 3/8-, 1/2- and 3/4-ounce models and long list of awesome colors.
Staff Perspective: When it comes to jigs, Greg Hackney knows his stuff—he’s certainly one of the very best in the game. While it’s likely a fault of mine, I prefer to flip jigs on fluorocarbon. In Minnesota we deal with northern pike, which also calls for a braided option, but I love the rate of fall, the sensitivity level, you name it. It’s a great line option for jigs and I’m excited to put some of these to use—don’t go too light on the line. I’d suggest starting out with 20-pound fluoro and go up from there. You can bet these jigs will work if they pass the Hackney test.
Cost: $5.99
