Magictail Kill Shot Black Nickel Bullethead Jig – 3-Pack, 1/4–3oz
Magictail Kill Shot Black Nickel Bullethead Jig – The Striper Bucktail Alternative
The Magictail Kill Shot Black Nickel Bullethead Jig is a versatile bucktail-style jig built for striped bass, tarpon, cobia, and inshore predators that respond to a fast-moving, flash-forward presentation. The black nickel finish is the key differentiator — it reflects light differently than standard lead or painted heads, creating a subtle flash that triggers reaction strikes in clear water without the over-bright flash that spooks fish in calm conditions.
Available in 19 weight/hook combinations across 7 weights (1/4oz to 3oz) and hook sizes from 3/0 to 10/0, sold in 3-packs. Match the weight to your depth and current, and the hook size to your bait and target species.
Why Black Nickel
