Nomad Design Gypsy Jig The Gypsy jig is a back slide jig designed to be worked at slower to medium speeds. It will dart around and change angle aggressively when twitched and jigged. The sizes available mean you can fish this in shallow water for grouper and snapper, through to deep water for yellowtail, amberjacks and tuna. The smaller jigs work very well when just "jiggled" near the bottom for a range of species that typically prefer rock structure.
