The Spire Head Advantage in Current

Round jig heads push water. Spire heads slice through it. The pointed shape lets this bucktail reach bottom faster and stay in the strike zone longer, especially in tidal rips and river mouths where current speed makes standard jigs drift too much.

The mylar-enhanced dressing adds flash that plain bucktails lack. Blue Water Candy hand-ties these in the USA on Mustad Duratin hooks. Fish them the same way you fish any bucktail: cast and bounce, vertical jig in current, or slow-troll for cobia. The spire shape also makes these effective trolled behind a planer.

Spire Head Design

The pointed head creates less water resistance than a standard round jig head. It sinks faster, holds bottom better in current, and produces a tighter action on the retrieve.

Mylar Flash Dressing

Mylar strands woven into the bucktail hair throw light on every twitch. The combination of natural hair movement and synthetic flash creates a baitfish profile that draws strikes from distance.

Five Color Options

Black/Orange, Purple, Green/Chartreuse, White, and Green/Pink cover every water condition. White is the all-around pick. Green/Pink is a proven striper color along the mid-Atlantic coast.

How to Fish a Spire Bucktail Jig

  1. Pick 2 oz for moderate current, 3 oz for heavy current or deeper water
  2. Tip with a strip bait or soft plastic for added attraction
  3. Cast up-current and let the spire head cut to the bottom
  4. Work it back with sharp lifts and controlled drops
  5. Watch your line on the fall - strikes often come as the jig drops

What is the advantage of a spire head over a round head? +
The spire shape cuts through current with less resistance, sinking faster and holding bottom better. It is a better choice for strong tidal areas and deep jigging. Compare with the round-head Mylar Bucktail.
What species does this target? +
Striped bass and cobia are the primary targets, but bluefish, false albacore, and flounder all eat these. See our striper guide for bucktail tactics.
Can I bounce this off the bottom? +
Absolutely. The spire head rocks on bottom contact, creating erratic action. Tip with a strip bait for extra scent. Our jigging guide covers bottom contact techniques.
What is the best all-around color? +
White. It works in all water clarities, all light conditions, and imitates most baitfish. Green/Chartreuse is the go-to for stained water. Browse our full jig lineup.
Are these good for trolling? +
Yes. Slow-troll at 2-4 knots for cobia, or run them behind a planer for stripers. Our cobia guide covers trolling with bucktails.
How do I maintain bucktail jigs? +
Rinse with fresh water after each trip and let them dry before storing. The Mustad Duratin hooks resist corrosion, but a rinse extends their life. Check our gear essentials guide for maintenance tips.
