When wind, current or depth makes a conventional jig difficult to control, the Hecla Hammer gives anglers the weight, hook gap and big-water profile needed to keep a minnow or soft plastic working in the strike zone.
Its current-cutting head helps maintain bottom contact and allows anglers to fish more vertically when boat speed, current and changing conditions are working against them. Reinforced construction and a beefy wide-gap hook provide the strength and clearance needed for larger baits, aggressive hooksets and the trophy fish these jigs were built to handle.
Greenback combines a dark green back with a clean white belly for a natural profile that resembles shiners and other dark-backed, light-bellied forage. It is a strong choice under bright or partly cloudy skies, in clear to moderately stained water, or whenever fish are feeding on baitfish but resisting louder colors. Charge the Kryptonite Glow finish with sunlight or a UV light to carry the pattern into overcast conditions, deeper water and low light.
Choose 3/8 oz for shallower water, lighter current and slower presentations. The 1/2 oz is the most versatile starting point for mixed depths and changing big-water conditions. Use 1 oz for deep water, strong current, wind, larger minnows or 4" to 6" plastics when maximum control and bottom contact matter.
