VMC Swinging Rugby Jig (Wide Gap)

The VMC Swinging Rugby Jig (Wide Gap) intelligently blends the best attributes of classic ball-head jigs and football-style heads, giving anglers a versatile and highly effective option for fishing soft plastics in diverse cover types. The “rugby-ball” shaped head delivers side-to-side rolling and swinging action as you retrieve or hops your rig — creating subtle movement that triggers strikes. 

Built with a wide-gap hook and extra-long Z-bend leg, this jig accommodates bulkier soft plastics while reducing interference from the hook shank, ensuring your bait moves naturally. The recessed eye further improves weed-deflection and protects knot abrasion while the 3° offset point aids solid hook-ups. 

Whether you’re dragging through rock, bouncing across gravel beds, pitching near docks or flipping tight cover, the Swinging Rugby Jig’s unique profile and action give you a presentation advantage that ordinary jig heads don’t. Paired with the wide-gap hook, it’s ready to handle robust plastics and aggressive strikes.

Key Features:

• Articulated rugby-ball-shaped cast-head for enhanced side-to-side and rolling action. 

• Recessed eye design for better weed/structure deflection and knot protection. 

• Extra-long Z-bend hook leg plus wide-gap geometry ideal for bigger soft plastics and reduced bait interference. 

• Offset point (3°) to improve hook-up ratio and reduce lost fish. 

• High-carbon steel construction (“Needle Sharp”) for reliable penetration and strength.

• Suitable weights & sizes: multiple options from lighter finesse versions to heavier structure versions (e.g., ¼ oz to ¾ oz) depending on water and cover.
