Every predator on the reef knows what a shad looks like—and the Grim Shad Widowmaker Jig exploits that instinct with surgical precision. Built with a shad-profile body and vibrant, attention-grabbing colors, this slow pitch jig bridges the gap between natural and aggressive.

- Slow Pitch Flutter: Balanced center of gravity produces a wide, hypnotic flutter on the fall—irresistible to snapper, grouper, and amberjack.
- Vibrant Color Pop: Bold enough to stand out in deep water, natural enough to get the bite in clear conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS THIS A SLOW PITCH JIG?
Absolutely—it’s weighted and balanced for slow pitch jigging with precise flutter and vertical control.
WHAT MAKES THE GRIM SHAD COLOR EFFECTIVE?
The Grim Shad combines a natural shad silhouette with vibrant coloring—giving predators the familiar shape they’re wired to eat, with enough pop to get noticed in deeper water. It’s the best of both worlds.
HOW SHOULD I RIG IT?
Rig it from the tail to get a sharp, head-first dart and flutter. That motion mimics a fleeing baitfish in real danger.
Fishing the 30g? Tie it to the tail to slow pitch jig it, or tie it to the nose to cast and retrieve.
DOES IT COME WITH HOOKS?
Yes. Every jig comes rigged with AnglerCo Assist Pro Jig Hooks. The 30g comes with a single assist hook, and the 70g–600g come with dual assist hooks. Need replacements or extras? Assist Pro Jig Hooks are also sold separately.
WHAT SIZE SHOULD I FISH?
A good starting point under normal conditions is roughly 1 gram of jig weight per foot of water:
- 30g = around 30 feet
- 70g = around 70 feet
- 100g = around 100 feet
- 150g = around 150 feet
- 200g = around 200 feet
- 300g = around 300 feet
- 400g = around 400 feet
- 500g = around 500 feet
- 600g = around 600 feet
Adjust based on depth, current, and drift speed. If you can't stay vertical, step up in weight.
The Shad They Can’t Refuse.
The Grim Shad Widowmaker Jig is the all-rounder—natural enough for pressured fish, vibrant enough for deep drops. From reef to wreck, this jig gets eaten. Drop it. Flutter it. Reap the rewards.
