Description
Johnny Jigs® Ridged Slow Pitch Jig – Erratic Flutter with Controlled Drop Speed
The Johnny Jigs® Ridged Slow Pitch Jig is built on a proven mold designed to produce an aggressive flutter and unpredictable fall that triggers reaction strikes from predatory fish. Its unique double-notched “ridged” body creates additional underwater disturbance, giving the jig an inconsistent sinking pattern that closely mimics a wounded baitfish.
When worked with proper slow pitch jigging technique, the Ridged jig produces a highly erratic flutter that draws attention from nearby predators. At the same time, its balanced design allows for a moderately fast drop speed when anglers need to reach the strike zone quickly. This combination of flutter action and efficient descent makes the Ridged a versatile option that performs well across a wide range of current conditions.
With its higher flutter profile, the Ridged jig excels when targeting bottom-dwelling species like grouper, snapper, and other reef predators. While it shines near structure and along the bottom, don’t be surprised when it gets crushed mid-water by aggressive species like amberjack or tuna. In fact, the Ridged jig has proven useful for nearly every species willing to eat a jig and has become a favorite among Northeast anglers targeting black sea bass, where its flutter and erratic fall consistently produce bites.
