Northland Fishing Tackle Smeltinator Jig

The award-winning Smeltinator Jig, designed by Canadian angler Bryan Gustafson, owes its success to a 20+ year partnership with Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jeff Gustafson and Northland Tackle founder John Peterson. This premium minnow head was created to accurately mimic slender baitfish in the Northern US and Canada, with a focus on utilizing expert manufacturing techniques as advised by Northland Tackle. After dominating the Canadian tournament circuit, Jeff Gustafson went on to win over $400,000 through B.A.S.S, including the 2023 Bassmaster Classic, utilizing the Smeltinator head. In 2023, Bryan licensed the manufacturing rights to Northland Tackle, reuniting the three key players responsible for the creation and fame of the Smeltinator. The exceptional components of the jig, such as the sharp and strong Gamakatsu 604 jig hook, lifelike 3D holographic eyes, and sculpted gill plates, add to its appeal and effectiveness. Additionally, the universal ribbed baitkeeper holds your favorite plastics on the jig head and doesn’t tear softbaits like traditional baitkeepers. The ultimate jighead for small swimbaits and minnow-style plastics, the Northland Fishing Tackle Smeltinator Jig has proven itself at the highest level of competition and deserves a home in every serious angler's arsenal 

For small finesse swimbaits and minnow baits around 3” in length, the 1/0 or 2/0 hook size is most popular, while the 2/0 and 3/0 hook size pairs up well for baits around 4”.
