Not all stripers eat on the surface. The big ones -- the ones that make you rethink your reel's drag system -- often hold deep in rips, letting the current deliver food like a conveyor belt. The Jiggy is designed to reach them. The weighted head sinks it into the strike zone while the soft body materials flutter and pulse in the current, looking exactly like a baitfish that has given up on the whole 'survival' concept. Fish it vertically and prepare for a pull that comes from the deep.

#1 - #2/0 (tied long, 4-6 inches)
A long, slender sand eel imitation made from a single saddle hackle wrapped around the shank. Incredibly simple construction creates a remarkably realistic sand eel profile in the water.

#1 - #2/0 (3-5 inches)
A sparse, elegant sand eel imitation by Ray Bondorew. Ultra-realistic in the water with a slim profile that matches the sand eels stripers obsess over in the Northeast.

#1/0 - #3/0
Bob Popovics' brilliant combination of a Clouser front with a Deceiver rear. Lead eyes for depth, saddle hackle for profile. The best of both worlds in one pattern.

#1 - #2/0
The universal Clouser adapted for Northeast waters. Lead eyes sink it into the strike zone in estuaries and back bays. Chartreuse/white is the classic, but olive/white imitates the local sand eels.
