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 Gerry’s 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 Sébile, 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 won’t 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 Gerry’s 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.

Gerry’s 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 Sébile design is a “must-have” for your deep-water box
