Dirty Jigs

High-performance metal jigs designed to trigger bites from structure to deep water.

SQUIRT Jigs

Hybrid action. Fast sink. Built to trigger strikes.

SQUIRT Jigs combine the fast sink rate of a knife jig with the fluttering action of a slow-pitch jig, creating a versatile hybrid jig that performs across a wide range of depths and conditions.

The streamlined baitfish profile lets a relatively small jig reach depth quickly while still producing an enticing action throughout the water column.

Fish them your way

  • Work them slowly near the bottom for Coral Trout and Emperors
  • Jig mid-water for Trevally and Jobfish
  • Wind them fast when pelagics are actively feeding
  • Match depth, current and drift with 25g, 40g and 60g options

Each weight is proportionately scaled to maintain the same proven baitfish profile and action.

Built for the job

  • Hybrid knife / slow-pitch action
  • Proportionately scaled baitfish profile
  • Holographic finish with subtle luminescence
  • Glowing squid-skirt trigger
  • Premium BKK assist hooks
  • Wire-core assist cord

Micro Jigging

You know the scene: hauling in a solid fish, only to see it dump a pile of half-digested baitfish on your deck. That’s what inspired The Squirt - built to dart and flick like a wounded baitfish, practically begging to be eaten. This is why micro jigs are on everyone’s line.

What is a Micro jig

We would class anything up to around 40 grams a micro jig, and the profile leaning more towards a knife jig than a slow pitch jig. Being on the lighter side, a straighter profile will get you down easier in deeper water and in areas of higher current. If you are able to fish deeper, it gives you a lot more options to catch a wider variety of species. In my opinion The Squirt from Dirty Tackle is best combination  weight, profile and quality hardware. The addition of a lumo squid skirt is the icing on the cake.

How to use Micro jigs

Being a smaller bait fish profile, micro jigs have a style of their own. After trying the ‘lift and drop’ technique of a slow pitch jig and the faster ‘lifting retrieve’ of a knife jig, we found what worked the best was a slow wind with a nice little twitch. Making the lure dance around like a scared or wounded baitfish is irresistible to any predator who is after an easy feed. If you fish close to the bottom, you’ll find bringing the lure up not too far out of the strike zone, and then dropping it back to the bottom is what works best. If the sounder shows mid-water fish, then bring your jig up higher before dropping it again. Using a micro jig with a lit up sounder screen is some of the most exciting fishing there is.

Where to use Micro jigs

When using smaller jigs in shallower water around coastal and island headlands, rocky outcrops and coral reefs, you will soon find how effective micro jigs are. The variety of fish species a micro jig attracts is amazing, and as you move deeper, the fishing will only get better. Fishing out wider and hitting the bottom in 40-60 meters will get you quality reef fish. As the lure is brought up further, you’ll find those mid-water species like Trevally, Rusty Jobfish, Goldband Snapper and big Amberjack love them as well.  If there are Mackerel around, a fast retrieval will
