Xorus Coyotte II Matt Jig Head

The Xorus Coyotte II Matt Jig Head is widely recognized as one of the most effective and reliable soft lure jig heads available for saltwater lure anglers. Engineered specifically to partner with slender soft plastic baits—such as lance-style sandeels, slug patterns, and thin-tail pintails—the Coyotte II offers an exceptional hydro-dynamic profile that cuts cleanly through strong tides and deep water columns with minimal resistance.

Crafted with a sleek, aerodynamic head shape, this jig head creates an enticing, darting action on the retrieve while maintaining stability when worked through turbulent currents. The distinct Matt finish eliminates harsh metallic glare in ultra-clear water or high-sunlight conditions, giving wary predators like European Seabass, Pollack, and Wrasse no reason to spook. Armed with an ultra-sharp, heavy-duty Decoy hook, the Coyotte II ensures instant penetration on subtle takes and provides the structural integrity needed to subdue hard-fighting fish around heavy reef structure and kelp beds.

Tactical Applications & Where to Use

Deep Water Reefs & Pinnacles: Excellent for vertical jigging or straight-retrieve fishing over offshore wrecks and deep reefs where Pollack and Cod hold close to structure.
Surfing Beaches & Estuary Channels: Ideal for working lance-style sandeel soft plastics along channel edges, runnels, and rip tides for patrolling Seabass.
Rocky Headlands & Gullies: Allows anglers to swim lures precisely through kelp lanes and rock margins where wrasse and bass ambush prey.
Subtle/Clear Water Presenting: The subtle matt finish gives a distinct edge in bright light or gin-clear summer water conditions when fish are finicky.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Pro Tip: To maximize the lifelike darting action of slender soft plastics, rig the Coyotte II so the hook exits dead-center on the back of the lure. When working high-energy tide rips or deep gullies, impart small, sharp twitches of the rod tip followed by brief pauses. The streamlined nose will make the soft plastic dart erratically side-to-side before gliding downward on the fall—a trigger that strikes almost always happen on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What soft lures fit best on the Xorus Coyotte II?

The Coyotte II is optimized for slim, hydrodynamic lures. It pairs exceptionally well with sandeel imitations, straight-tail slugs, and slender minnow tails where a seamless join between the jig head and lure body is required.

Why choose the Matt finish over a painted or shiny finish?

The non-reflective matt finish prevents bright metallic reflections that can spook wary predators in clear or shallow water. It offers a more natural, subtle baitfish profile underwater.

Are the integrated Decoy hooks suitable for big fish?

Yes. Decoy hooks are world-renowned for their high-carbon strength and exceptional point sharpness. They resist flexing under heavy pressure from specimen Seabass or deep-water Pollack.

How do I prevent soft lures from slipping down the shank?

The Coyotte II features a built-in bait retainer collar. For extra security against aggressive bites or repeated long-distance casting, apply a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate superglue to the collar before sliding the lure body tight against the jig head base.
