Nomad Buffalo Jr Micro Jig Lure 8g

The Nomad Buffalo Jr Micro Jig Lure 8g combines compact baitfish appeal with a slow Flash Fall action for targeting estuary and shallow inshore predators around harbours, rock walls and river mouths.

The Nomad Buffalo Jr 8g takes the proven Buffalo Jig concept and scales it down for light-tackle micro jigging. Its centre-weighted balance creates an exaggerated flutter, strong flash and extended hang time, giving predators more opportunity to strike as the lure falls.

The 8g model is well suited to harbours, rock walls, river mouths and shallow reef, providing a useful balance between finesse and additional weight for maintaining contact with the lure. Premium BKK 2X Twin Assist Hooks complete the ready-to-fish presentation.

Key Benefits

Expert Advice

The 8g Buffalo Jr is a useful option when you need slightly more depth or control than the 5g model while retaining a finesse presentation. Cast it along rock walls and river mouths or vertically work it over shallow reef. Lift the jig and then allow it to flutter on a controlled fall, maintaining slight line tension so you can detect bites without stopping its natural action.
