NEW Northland Fishing Tackle Big Bass Hair Jig – Minnesota Mullet
Eugene L. 06.19.24
Northland Fishing Tackle has tied up a new hair jig designed to get you some jumbo bass, perfect for getting that kicker fish to finish out your tournament bag. The Northland Minnesota Mullet is a big bass hair jig like no other. Instead of having stiffer hair needed for a big profile, the mullet has a new synthetic fiber that gives the jig a big flowing appearance in the water. The buoyancy of the synthetic fiber lets the Minnesota Mullet float in the water column, making it perfect for targeting suspending fish on flats and weed beds. Even when sitting the hair will pulse and move enticing big fish to strike.

Northland lure designer, Sam Larsen, offers: “Most of the best fish-catching baits are simple in design. We took that direction with the Minnesota Mullet, which is made of three materials on a premium Northland Elite Series Mimic Jighead with 60-degree upward hookbend and heavy wire for solid hooksets. We utilized a unique, synthetic fiber with a lot of loft, buoyancy, and flow; a couple chicken feathers off the back that undulate like a trailer; and just the right amount of tinsel. Then you have the thread tied farther back on the jig hook shank so it’s really streamlined.”
The Northland Minnesota Mullet is tied on the Northland Elite Series Mimic Jighead in two sizes, ½ and ¾ ounce weights. It is available in four color patterns, Perch, Crappie, White, and Green Bluegill. But there are more color patterns in the works. Each jig has an MSRP of $14.99 and are available now at Northland or any of their dealers.
“There is no other bass hair jig that hangs, pauses, breathes, and sheds water so easily, while remaining easy to fish. It gives the right suspending action while having a lot of material to push water—notify big bass of its presence—and really stimulate their lateral lines.”
