Bassdozer Multi Jig ~ Designed for Multiple Jig Fishing Uses

The Bassdozer Multi Jig combines many of the best features of multiple other jig types into one!

Need a shakey jig? A stand-up jig? A heavy duty flipping jig? A pointy-nosed grass jig? A superior swimming jig with its 28 degree eye angle? A jig to use with soft baits only? Or with a skirt? A jig that's fully weedless? Or an open hook jig? The Multi Jig does it all. The Multi Jig is made for multiple bass fishing presentations all in one jig.

It excels in rocky areas and on deep structure or in shallow cover, and it's good in wood, brush and grass. You may use it with a swimming style or to make bottom contact, flip it, drag it or use it any way a jig works.

With it's clip-on corkscrew keeper, it's a Texas rig, a shakey jig, and it has a triple cone cut collar. Each cone provides 360 degrees of of grip, or 1,080 degrees of non-slip grip in total, to hold skirts and soft baits securely in place.

It may be used with or without skirts and with most any soft bait you desire, with the hook exposed or fully weedless.

When allowed to fall to the bottom, it stands up on its flat face.

It's built around one of the best soft bait and jig hooks ever made, the Mustad 91768BLN.

Multi Jigs also come in multiple weight and hook sizes

There's a total of three Multi Jig models all the same shape and size except the weight and hook vary:

1/2 oz 6/0 Tin Model. Painted with red eyes. For good-sized bass on medium heavy tackle and all approx. 3 to 8 lb range fish in fresh or saltwater.
3/4 oz 6/0 Lead Model. Without painted eyes. For good-sized bass on medium heavy tackle and all approx. 3 to 8 lb range fish in fresh or saltwater.
3/4 oz 7/0 Model. No painted eyes. Perfect for the biggest largemouth bass on heavy tackle and for pike, stripers and other 8 to 20 lb salt or freshwater predators.

The 1/2 and 3/4 oz sizes produce identical swimming and fishing actions except the 1/2 oz naturally falls slower and otherwise moves more slowly since it is lighter.

All have the same model of heavy duty, long shank Mustad UltraPoint hook, either 6/0 (in 1/2 oz and 3/4) or 7/0 (in 3/4 only).

The black nickel hook finish is the perfect corrosion-resistant choice for all fishing in fresh and saltwater. Mustad applies the latest technology in the industry to make these hooks so they have a long-lasting rust-corrosion resistance with a very hard and long-lasting point sharpness.

6/0 Multi Jigs come in 3/4 oz (left) and 1/2 oz (right with red eyes).

6/0 Multi Jigs come in 3/4 oz (left) and 1/2 oz tin (right with red eyes) with clip-on corkscrew keeper.

The Importance of the Soft Bait on a Jig

What is the most important component of a jig? Most anglers don't guess the right answer. It's the soft bait used as the trailer. Think of the jig head and skirt as only a means to attract fish over to strike the soft bait! Really. If you don't believe me, fish any skirted jig for a few days with no soft bait on it. You won't do well. Next, remove the skirt and fish the same jig only with a soft bait this time, and you'll do good. You'll prove it's the soft bait that fish want!

Think of the skirt as a picnic blanket that opens and spreads out on the bottom under the elevated soft bait. It's the soft bait that's the centerpiece of the presentation - not the skirt.

Best of all, the Multi Jig provides two different options for rigging a soft bait, based on how weedless you require it. The Multi Jig has both a corkscrew keeper and a triple cone cut collar so you may choose whichever style of soft bait rigging, weedless or not, that best suits the fishing conditions you face.

Due to the importance of the soft bait, the Multi Jig is designed around one of the best soft bait hooks on the planet - Mustad's 91768BLN 28 degree Wide Gap UltraPoint Jig Hook. This same hook is used on many of the most popular swimbait and frog weighted hooks and jigs on the market. It's a superb hook for all soft baits.

What's also key is that Mustad's UltraPoint hooks are designed to stay sharper longer than any other hook brands. The unmatched durability means the UltraPoint will not bend, roll over or dull as easily or quickly as other hooks. The point resists failure and provides unmatched penetration and performance.

Mustad's 91768BLN is used on many of the best swimbait, frog and jig hooks - and on the Multi Jig.

The Multi Jig stand ups. The hook eye (and therefore the knot and line) are held up high where they will not be the first part of the jig to contact obstructions, the bottom or weeds. So although the knot is right up front, the knot and line are not constantly abraded as on other jigs with the line tie far forward. Sounds simple but it's significant.

Also note the triple cone cut collar. Each cone has 360 degrees of bait-gripping power, or 1,080 degrees of bait-grip in all. I did not invent the triple cone cut collar. It started on saltwater jigs, but I was the first to use it for freshwater bass lures. Many others are now adding these kinds of cone collars onto their jigs too. Some are making the cones too small or too close together and that's not best. The amply spaced and ringed cones like those shown are the best of all ways to hold skirts and soft baits securely. The corkscrew clips are also a great method to hold baits securely. You have both soft bait rigging options on the Multi Jig.

Bottom View. The head shape is rounded on bottom and pointed on both ends. It is a football shape lengthwise. This lets the Multi Jig operate effectively in grass, wood, weeds, laydowns, stumps, flooded trees, rocks, brush, whatever cover or structure you may encounter, shallow or deep. The Multi Jig is a dream for night fishing. Flip, pitch and cast it. The 28 degree hook eye makes it perfect for swimming. It stands up. It's a Texas rig and a shakey jig and a sweet swimbait head. It's multi-purpose.

6/0 Rigging Methods

For quality bass and other fresh and saltwater fish on medium heavy tackle!

6/0 with Hippo Tackle's 5" hollow body swimbaits. The Multi Jig works with many hollow or solid body swimbaits.

In relatively snagless water, you can rig the Multi Jig with the hook exposed as shown below. Push the skirt all the way forward onto the collar so it is held securely in front of the first cone. That still leaves two cones, or 720 degrees of grip to hold the soft trailer securely in place.

6/0 with 5" standard skirts.

6/0 with 6" Yamamoto Twin Tail Hula Grub (99 series) under 5" standard skirt

6/0 with Yamamoto 5" Senko with or without skirt. It's like using two of the best bass baits of all times - a Yamamoto Senko AND a jig at once!

7/0 Rigging Methods

It's a Big Ole Jig for Pike, Trophy Largemouth, Stripers and Others in Salt or Freshwater!

With the Multi Jig, you can fish a Texas rig and a jig both at once in the same presentation. The Multi Jig is not one or the other but both!

It's easy to use if you follow these five simple steps:

First, select whichever soft bait you feel matches the conditions. Try any soft bait, disregarding whether it's the type normally used as a jig trailer.
Next, decide whether you want to rig that with or without a skirt. Either way is okay.
In open water, rig the soft bait on the jig's triple cone keeper collar (on the hook shank).
If it's snaggy or weedy, rig using the wire corkscrew clip.
