Abstract
A fishing jig is disclosed. The fishing jig includes a semitransparent skirt having a generally tubular body that extends between a closed head end and a tail end that includes an opening. A channel is formed within the tubular body and extends from the opening toward the head end. The fishing jig also includes a jig head positioned within the channel of the skirt and at least partially visible through the skirt. The jig head may include a body having a first side and a second side, an eye positioned on each of the first side and the second side, the eyes being visible through the skirt, and a hook that extends from the body and through the opening in the skirt. The fishing jig may mimic the look and motion of bait fish.
Claims18
A fishing jig, comprising:
- a skirt consisting of:
- a generally tubular body that extends along a longitudinal axis between a closed head end and a tail end that includes an opening, wherein the tail end is tapered from a taper start point on a top of the tubular body to a distal tip on a bottom of the tubular body, wherein the tail end comprises a single slit extending from the distal tip along the bottom of the tubular body dividing a distal-most portion of the tail end into exactly two split tail portions, and wherein the slit extends along the bottom of the tubular body to a slit stop point that is positioned between the taper start point and the distal tip;
- and
- a channel formed within the tubular body that extends along the longitudinal axis from the opening through the tubular body at least partway toward the head end.
