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.
White Red Eye is simple by design and dependable across an unusually broad range of conditions. Its clean white Kryptonite Glow body creates an easy-to-track baitfish profile without the competing colors of a more aggressive pattern. The red 3D eye gives fish a precise strike target, while the hammered silver blade adds flash and movement with every lift and drop. It is an excellent starting color in clear or stained water, under bright or overcast skies, and whenever fish are feeding on shiners or other light-colored forage. Charge the glow finish with sunlight or a UV light to extend its visibility into 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.
