The Metal Adict Type Zero is Little Jack’s light-blade jigging micro jig, a small, realistic baitfish jig that comes ready to fish with a nose assist hook and a swimming blade-and-treble at the tail. The metal body throws hard flash while the blade kicks and swims on the drop and the retrieve, so you get both the flutter of a jig and the tail action of a swimbait in one little lure. Little Jack builds the finishes to look like the real thing, and the holographic baitfish patterns are as clean as anything on the market.

At 10g and 51mm this is right in the sweet spot for light jigging. It’s a natural for shore jigging, perch, corbina, croaker, bass, and whatever else is picking off small bait in the wash, and it shines bay jigging for spotties and sand bass, where the swept, flashing fall does the work for you. When fish are keyed in on tiny pin bait and a full-size iron gets ignored, a realistic micro jig like this is often what turns the bite.

It’s a compact metal jig, so it casts a mile for its size and cuts wind better than live bait. The assist-plus-blade rigging is ready out of the package; swap in heavier hardware if you’re stepping up to bigger fish.

The details: Sinking metal micro jig, 51mm, pre-rigged with a front assist hook and a rear swimming blade with treble. Realistic holographic baitfish finishes.
