But we didn’t stop there. We’ve paired the Cobia Jig with 8” Swirl Tail grubs. These grubs are incredibly enticing to Cobia, creating a jig setup that's simply irresistible. The combination of the vibrant jig and the dynamic movement of the Swirl Tail grubs mimics the look and behavior of prey, making it a must-have for your fishing adventures this month.
