The Ryugi Jighead Wacky Hook is on its way to Blue Water Gear!

Specially designed for jighead wacky rigging around structure. It features a clever teardrop-shaped head that greatly improves snag-free performance while reducing water resistance for better action.

It also comes with dual resin guards - you can keep them together as one guard or spread them into a V-shape for extra protection in tighter cover. The hook has a long taper point for solid hooksets even with light force.

It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of South African bass fishing legend, Justy Varkevisser.

A fierce rival who pushed everyone around him to be better, Justy elevated the sport every time he competed. Whether you were battling him on the water or learning from his intensity, he made you raise your game. That’s what true champions do.

A giant of South African bass angling has left us. His passion, competitive spirit, and larger-than-life presence will be sorely missed by everyone who loves this sport.

Rest in peace, Justy. Thank you for the battles, the lessons, and the memories

Our thoughts rest with his family during this time.
