The Backwater Custom Baits Poison Tail Jigs are compact 1/4 oz fluke jigs designed with a line-forward configuration for controlled presentations close to the bottom. The forward line-tie position helps maintain a streamlined profile while accommodating soft plastics, strip baits, and other common fluke presentations. Their compact size makes them particularly useful when a smaller offering is needed without sacrificing the hook size required for larger fluke.
The Poison Tail's versatile design allows it to be fished individually, positioned as a teaser above a ball or minnow jig, or paired with a second Poison Tail to create a traditional chicken rig. Multiple hook configurations provide options for different bait sizes and rigging preferences, including 5/0, 6/0, and 7/0 2X strong J-bend hooks as well as a heavy-duty 6/0 sickle hook.
