WE BROUGHT
IT BACK - THE
Muddler Jig
LOOKOrder # Head Body
& UPC Color Color Size Price
Structured in a similar fashion to the Original Muddler Fly,
created by my father Don Gapen, the Muddler Jig is graced
with a jig head so the spin fisherman is able to take advantage of the superb lure (fly)
design.
Originally the Muddler Jig was brought to the market in 1971, then discontinued due
to the lack of experienced fly tiers, in 1980. During its first lifespan the Muddler Jig
proved deadly on smallmouth bass, walleye, salmon and all trout species. Nothing better
attracts gamefish than deerhair, feathers and squirrel tail.
Original research proved that the Muddler Jig best represented a bottom-walking
crawfish, a food that all fish named, feed on, and in certain water where sculpin minnows
live. It was also proved as a deadly ringer for the sculpin.
“HOW-TO” WORK THE MUDDLER JIG:
When possible, work the Muddler Jig along the rocky bottom to imitate the sculpin or
crawfish. Short rod tip lifts should be applied as the jig is retrieved. This action best represents
the movement of both the sculpin and crawfish who flourish in the rocky bottoms
of both rivers and lakes.
