PB&J Flipping Jig

Versatile • Proven • A Confidence Color for Every Condition

The PB&J Flipping Jig is a workhorse — the kind of jig you tie on when you’re not sure what the fish want, but you know you need something natural, subtle, and deadly. With its rich blend of purple and brown tones, this jig perfectly imitates crawfish, bluegill, and dark-bodied forage that bass feed on year‑round. It’s a color that shines in clear water, holds its own in stain, and flat-out catches fish when other patterns fall flat.

Built around a compact flipping head, the PB&J slides cleanly into grass, wood, and tight cover without rolling or hanging up. A tuned weed guard protects the hook while still allowing solid penetration, and the heavy‑duty flipping hook gives you the power to drive steel home even in thick cover or on long pitches. The hand‑tied skirt flares naturally on the fall, creating a lifelike pulse that triggers reaction bites from pressured or neutral fish.

This is the flipping jig you rely on when you want a natural presentation that still stands out just enough to get noticed.

🎣 How to Fish the PB&J Flipping Jig in Different Situations

🌫️ Water Clarity

Clear Water

• PB&J is a staple in clear water thanks to its natural, craw‑matching tones.
• Perfect for flipping docks, isolated wood, and grass edges where bass feed visually.
• Pair with a natural craw or beaver trailer for maximum realism.

Lightly Stained Water

• The purple strands add subtle contrast that helps fish track the bait.
• Excellent around brush piles, laydowns, and transition banks.
• Great for spring and fall when crawfish are active.

Muddy Water

• Still effective when fish are feeding tight to cover.
• Add a thumping or flapping trailer to increase vibration and visibility.

🕒 Time of Day

Morning

• Flip it along grass lines, docks, and shallow wood as bass move up to feed.
• The natural tones blend in while still offering enough contrast to get noticed.

Midday / Bright Sun

• PB&J excels when fish get finicky or pressured.
• The subtle colorway looks realistic in high visibility.

Evening / Low Light

• The purple strands catch stray light and add just enough flash.
• Great for working shade lines and ambush points.

🐟 Target Species

Largemouth Bass

• Deadly around grass, docks, and shallow wood.
• Mimics crawfish and bluegill — two of their most consistent forage sources.
• Perfect for pressured lakes where loud colors shut fish down.

Smallmouth Bass

• Flip around rock transitions, bluff ends, and isolated wood.
• The purple tones are especially effective for smallmouth that key in on craws.

Bonus Bites: Walleye & Pike
