Gapen Freshwater Shrimp Jig - Slow-Fall Panfish & Multi-Species Jig
The Gapen Freshwater Shrimp Jig is a proven slow-fall jig that imitates the flash and profile of natural freshwater shrimp. Built with quality materials, tinsel flash, and either a Glitter Tail or Maribou + Glitter Tail, it draws fish in and triggers strikes as it parachutes downward.
Size determines the style:
• 1/64 oz & 1/32 oz = Glitter Tail
• 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz & 1/4 oz = Maribou + Glitter Tail
Over 5 million of the smaller sizes were sold in the first five years — a testament to how effective this pattern is for panfish and beyond.

How to Fish It: Twitch the rod tip to create a flash, then follow the jig down with your rod tip, visualizing the slow drop. Be ready for strikes on the fall — watch for slack line or a light tap and set the hook. Pair it with a sensitive Gapen spinning rod for maximum feel.
A true panfish and multi-species essential. Stock multiple sizes and colors and keep this proven pattern ready for docks, weeds, and open water.
