Cheapskate [Custom Colors]

Description

The [FISH]rx Cheapskate is a bladed jig collaboration. These colors were developed with Derek from Deeks Jigs specifically for Southern California inshore fishing.

The bladed jig is built for reaction strikes. That blade vibrates the second it hits the water. The thump it puts out makes calico bass, sand bass, and spotted bay bass commit. It works even when fish aren’t actively feeding. I fish ours slow and kill it on the drop. Or I burn it straight at the wall on a fast retrieve. Both produce.

The trailer matters on a bladed jig. A good trailer adds action on the fall — that’s when most fish commit. Without it the bait goes dead the second you kill it. Pair it with the RX Dragon Tail for tight tail kick on the drop. Use the RX Slug when you want a cleaner, slimmer profile. Reach for the RX Skeleton Craw when fish want something with more body and presence on the fall.

These are SoCal-specific colorways. Magic Mint and Spottie Special were dialed in for the water clarity and forage in Southern California harbors and back bays. More colorways coming.

How to fish it: Cast it at structure, let it fall on a semi-slack line, and feel for the thump. Slow roll it just above the rocks for a different look on tough days. Use Blacktail Fishing hooks when rigging your trailer weedless for tight structure.
