Magic Meez Crab Jigs

All the talk about blackfishing can be about bait.

“Crab selection
makes a big difference,”
an article about blackfishing
says online.

Another mentions other baits: shrimp and clam.

Jigs aren’t mentioned in either.

The company S&S Bucktails has introduced Magic Meez Crab Jigs for blackfishing.

Jigs can be less popular for blackfishing.

But sometimes anglers prefer them, for reasons including fun and convenience.

Convenience, because of reasons including that tying on a jig is easier than a bait rig, when changing the tackle during fishing.

The Magic Meez lies flat, with the hook upright, unlike other jigs,
to increase hook-up ratio.

The jigs are available in these ounces: 1, 1 ½, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

They come in seven color schemes: Greeny, Glowing Greeny, Asian Stone, White Legger, Calico, Blue and Fiddler.

Those are crabs commonly fished for blackfish.

The 1- and 1-1/2-ouncers come with VMC Predator hooks, and the rest come with Gamakatsu hooks.

S&S Bucktails gained attention in recent years for products including the Rattle Tail bucktail, a hit with fluke anglers, and the Octopi jig, a fav for sea bassers.
