Illex Magic Swing Tail Jig

The Illex Magic Swing Tail is a unique softbait that breaks the pattern of classic shad. With its thoughtful design and lively action, it offers a more erratic and natural movement - something that often triggers strikes from fish that otherwise avoid traditional lures. Available in sizes from 10cm up to a whopping 25cm, it's a versatile choice for everything from perch to really big pike.

What really sets the Magic Swing Tail apart is the clever "Flex Connection" in the centre of the body. Together with the perfectly balanced rubber compound, this creates an unpredictable, almost jerky gait where the flat sides reflect light while the extremely mobile tail strikes like a whip. The result is a bait that feels alive - even when presented slowly.

Unlike traditional paddle tails, the Magic Swing Tail offers minimal water resistance. This makes the lure perfect for vertical fishing for zander and pike, where you get subtle vibrations even at very low speed. The hydrodynamic shape also makes it easy to fish accurately - perfect for sniping with sonar or close to structure.

The Magic Swing Tail is equally effective in active fishing with jerky retrieves as in more passive vertical fishing. It can be fished on a classic jig head, such as the NITRO Shad Head, or weightless to sneak through vegetation, trees and other difficult environments where predators are present.

For added attraction, the bait is also impregnated with Illex NITRO BOOSTER with squid flavour - a detail that often makes a difference when fishing is slow.
