Ocean Born Bouncing Bucktail 112g 6/0

Ocean Born Bouncing Bucktail 112g 6/0: The Heavy-Duty Vertical Specialist

The Ocean Born Bouncing Bucktail is widely considered the most advanced vertical jigging bucktail available today. At Gerrys Fishing, we find this 112g (4oz) version to be the ultimate solution for extreme conditions. Whether you are fishing deep-water wrecks, fighting heavy spring tides, or targeting massive predators in the rips, the 112g Bouncer is engineered to stay in the strike zone where lighter jigs fail.

Designed by legendary lure maker Patrick Sbile, this is not your average bucktail. It solves the traditional problems of jigging by offering a perfectly horizontal presentation and a unique gliding action that triggers reflex strikes from Cod, Pollack, and specimen Bass.

Technical Innovation & Design Features

• Perfectly Horizontal Presentation: Unlike standard bucktails that hang vertically, the line tie on the Bouncing Bucktail is positioned at the center of gravity. This ensures the lure sits horizontally in the water, looking exactly like a swimming baitfish.

• Patented Sidewings: The specialized wings on the side of the head provide lift and hydrodynamic stability. They prevent the lure from spinning in heavy currents and cause it to glide or spiral on the fall, providing a much longer kill zone during the descent.

• Belly Ribs for Turbulence: The ribbed underside creates water turbulence and low-frequency vibrations as the lure moves. This adds an acoustic signature that predators can track via their lateral lines in dark or murky deep-sea environments.

• PS Inverse Bend Hook: Fitted with an ultra-strong 6/0 PS Inverse Bend Hook. This unique shape offers superior holding power and extreme strength, ensuring it wont straighten under the weight of a trophy fish.

• Metal Sleeve Protection: To ensure durability, a metal sleeve protects the thread wraps from the abrasive teeth of predators, keeping the premium bucktail hair secure for much longer than traditional lures.

Tactical Applications

The 112g Bouncing Bucktail is a versatile powerhouse for offshore scenarios. The Gerrys team suggests:

• Heavy-Tide Wreck Jigging: The 112g weight is essential for reaching the seabed over deep-water wrecks during strong tides. The spiraling action as it drops past structure is a major trigger for Pollack and Cod.

• Bottom Bouncing for Bass: In fast-moving rips or estuary mouths, bounce this lure along the bottom. The horizontal balance and sidewings keep it from snagging while mimicking a large crab or baitfish struggling in the flow.

• Soft Plastic Trailers: To maximize the profile for specimen hunting, rig the 6/0 hook with a Hyperlastics Sandyll tail or a 6-inch Curlyminn. This adds extra vibration and creates a massive silhouette for trophy predators.

• The Vertical Shake: When fish are holding tight to the wreck, use short, aggressive rod twitches. The 112g head will thump the water, and the bucktail hair will breathe and flare, attracting fish even in low-visibility conditions.

Gerrys Verdict:

The Ocean Born Bouncing Bucktail (112g/6/0) is a top-of-the-line tool for the serious offshore angler. Its ability to maintain a horizontal posture in the heaviest currents makes it the most advanced bucktail on the market. If you need a lure that combines the tradition of bucktail hair with modern hydrodynamic engineering, this 112g Sbile design is a must-have for your deep-water box
