Nomad Buffalo Jr Micro Jig Lure 20g

The Nomad Buffalo Jr Micro Jig Lure 20g delivers the Buffalo's proven Flash Fall action in a compact profile with added weight for snapper, trevally, bonito and other predators in deeper inshore water and stronger current.

The Nomad Buffalo Jr 20g is the heaviest model in the supplied Buffalo Jr range, combining light-tackle micro jig dimensions with the weight needed to maintain better contact in deeper water and stronger flow. Its centre-weighted design produces an exaggerated flutter, strong flash and extended hang time on the fall.

Designed for deeper inshore water and stronger current, the 20g Buffalo Jr lets anglers step up in weight without abandoning the compact baitfish presentation. It can be vertically jigged or cast and worked through the water column, and comes fitted with premium BKK 2X Twin Assist Hooks.

Key Benefits

• Centre-Weighted Flash Fall Design – Generates pronounced flutter and visual flash as the jig descends.
• Extended Hang Time – Keeps the compact lure in the strike zone longer to give predators more opportunity to attack.
• Compact Baitfish Profile – Maintains a finesse presentation when fish are focused on smaller prey.
• 20g Weight – Provides additional control for deeper inshore water and stronger current.
• Multiple Fishing Methods – Suitable for vertical jigging, casting, short hops and controlled lift-and-fall retrieves.
• BKK 2X Twin Assist Hooks – Supplied with premium assist hooks for light-tackle jigging.

Expert Advice

Choose the 20g Buffalo Jr when lighter models are being pushed out of the strike zone by depth, current or drift. Drop it vertically or cast ahead of the boat or kayak, then work it with controlled lifts before allowing the centre-weighted body to flutter down. Watch your line closely and maintain slight tension during the fall because many strikes occur as the jig descends. If conditions allow you to maintain contact with a lighter Buffalo Jr, stepping down can produce an even slower finesse presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the Nomad Buffalo Jr 20g?

The 20g model is intended for deeper inshore water and stronger current. It is the option to consider when lighter Buffalo Jr jigs do not provide enough contact or control for the conditions.

What fish can I target with the Buffalo Jr 20g?

Target species include snapper, trevally, tailor, Australian salmon, jewfish, bonito and school kingfish, along with a variety of other estuary and inshore predators.

Can the Buffalo Jr 20g be used for vertical jigging?

Yes. The Buffalo Jr can be vertically jigged over inshore ground or worked with cast-and-fall retrieves. Slow lifts and short hops allow its centre-weighted Flash Fall design to work during the descent.

Which Nomad Buffalo Jr weight should I choose?

Use the lightest weight that allows you to maintain contact with the jig. The 5g suits very shallow estuary fishing, with 8g, 12g and 16g providing progressively more control, while the 20g is designed for deeper inshore water and stronger current.
