AnglerCo Imposter Jig – Hornbelly (Glow-in-the-Dark!) Slow Pitch Jig for Deep Drops & Nighttime Hits
If it looks like a hornbelly and glows like it never sleeps, predators don’t stand a chance. The AnglerCo Hornbelly (Glow-in-the-Dark!) Imposter Jig is a glow-charged slow pitch jig built to mimic one of the juiciest baitfish in the zone. With luminous edges, glowing eyes, and wild fluttering action, this flutter jig is deadly from reef to wreck.
Why It Lights Up the Strike Zone
- Hornbelly Color + Glow: Natural silver body with glow-edge accents and glowing eyes to call fish in from the dark.
- Tail-Rigged Flutter: Rigged tail-first, it darts forward erratically like a fleeing baitfish—perfect for triggering reaction strikes.
- Deep-Drop Versatility: Slim profile sinks fast and performs equally well inshore, offshore, or at night.
Built to Fish Hard and Come Back Swinging
- Assist Pro Hooks: Rigged with AnglerCo Assist Pro Jig Hooks that handle freight-train hits and structure battles without folding.
- Glow-Charged Finish: Paint is chip-resistant and glows bright—charge it with sunlight or a flashlight before the drop.
- Fast Sink, Wild Flutter: Drops fast, flutters with intent, and dares big fish to eat it.

Frequently Asked Questions
IS THIS A SLOW PITCH JIG?
Yes—its balanced, flutter‑tuned design makes it deadly for slow pitch jigging in deep structure or heavy current.
WHAT MAKES THE GLOW FEATURE SPECIAL?
Glow edges and eyes turn this into a beacon at depth—perfect for low light, nighttime, or murky conditions.
HOW SHOULD I RIG IT?
Rig it tail-first to get a head-down, darting flutter on the drop—just like a panicked hornbelly trying to escape.
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.
WHICH SIZE SHOULD I USE?
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
Current, wind, and drift all change how much weight you need. Always go as light as conditions allow.
Match the Hatch. Glow Up. Get Down.
The Hornbelly (Glow-in-the-Dark!) Imposter Jig was built to shine in the deep and deliver bites in the dark. Whether you’re dropping on wrecks or ripping ledges, this jig gets down fast and comes up with dinner. Charge it, drop it, hook up.
What Anglers Are Saying on Facebook
4 nice snapper first time used. 2 at the same time (1 on each hook). Was using 100g but am ordering 200 g as I think will work even better in 200 ft.
Great jig, caught more off the jig than the sqid bait used by others
I keep seeing them on facebook so I got a100 gram bonita they were out of pin fish went off shore last Thursday off Anna Maria 170 ft were catching red snapper and red grouper on frozen bait a shark cut me off. So tied my imposter jig to my spinning’s outfit dropped it to the bottom raised it about 5 ft and let it fall bam hookup to a 22 in red grouper first drop then again the second drop then the 3rd drop raised it up about 25 ft worked it for a minute the hook up nice red snapper. Dropped it down again instantly hook up big fish then got sharked lost my jig😳I ordered 2 got them yesterday working on another off shore trip next week 😁excited.
I am still two (2) months out from my upcoming trip to the Gulf to utilize these Imposter jigs, BUT, I have taken them to a local lake to get the "ferl" for them and fine tuning the gear I'll be utilizing them with. Now, I'm no "Pro" or "Expert" when it comes to slow fall jigging by any means, BUT, one issue I was having with them, we're the "Assist" hooks! From the 150g to the 300g, the rigged hooks that came with them attached, are simply frustrating to be honest. I think the "size" of the hooks themselves will be just fine, but the length of the "cords" allows the hooks to catch and tangle with each other both during the drop, and/or while jigging. Like I said, I was just testing things out, but on virtually every single retrieval, the hooks would be tangled when I lift the Imposter and the Widomaker jigs out of the water. If ya'll could/would maybe offer a solution, Id be most appreciative! Otherwise, a great product that I can only hope will be productive! Thanks
First drop and fish ate the paint off both sides of lure
catches fish
They all look great and well made I just haven’t used the yet work and weather problems
Great jigs, fun to fish with. Sea Bass love them, no bait needed.
I’ll be bringing these to Panama next month. I have a lot of faith they’ll crush the reef fish. Amazing detail, and they appear to be great quality jigs
From the first moment this I saw these, I knew that they were special. They look like the real fish and are clearly well made. The flutter action is incredible. Use the lightest jig that the current will allow. A slow jerk seems to be the most productive, but many hits happen on the initial drop. It’s clear that the fish on my grounds have not seen these because they are getting crushed. I’ve also let them rest on the bottom and only move it every minute or so. You really can’t go wrong. Everything seems to hit these too. I’m so excited to fish these all season this year.
Killer bait got some jumbo stripers on it first time out 47 " was the biggest.
You really need to make a 15 gram I am taking the 30 gram to ice fish in wisconsin for giant browns o lake michigan soon but a 15 gram would be better suited for those conditions.
Thank you

Second review:
I'm completely sold on these. I bought some heavier ones to fish windy days. I was worried the action wouldn't be as good but the jig worked just as good as the 70 gram.
I picked up a mess of big lanes, a couple red grouper and this flatty in 60 feet.
Love these jigs!
Grandson was tossing the 70 and 100 gram bonito n hornbellys. He smoked 8 nice bonito. He'd flip them 100ft out and let them drop for a count of 30 and if he wasn't bit he'd rip it back to the boat n get smacked hard. Biggest was 18lbs
Fished one of these for the first time today and slayed a mess of lane snappers and red grouper.
They couldnt leave it alone. I had hits on every drop for an hour.
I'm Not kidding at all.
I'm totally sold and will be buying more.
As someone who has bought and created my own vertical jigs for ten years I have to say these jigs have a very unique swim/flutter upon decent. I use them for fall and winter striper fishing. So far has been irresistible to them. Was worth the price. Looks great, different shape and different flutter that i dont get from any of my other jigs.
Love it Hooking up 2 fish at the time
Not normally a jig or lure user but had to try the 150gr lane snapper jig. Caught red snapper on very first drop and keeper red group on the next drop.
Best arsenal in my tackle box. From rock fish to lings it’s an automatic hit! It’s a fisherman must have for sure!
Every ocean fish loves this lure
Great product! Carching fish off the cast
Beautiful lures, can’t wait to go fishing!
