SuperNova

Small Jig. Loud Presence.

The Slay J’s Tackle SuperNova is a compact rattle jig designed to add sound and vibration to your presentation when fish need extra triggering. Available in 1/8 oz and 1/4 oz sizes, the SuperNova delivers audible attraction in moving water, stained conditions, or high-pressure fisheries where visual cues alone aren’t enough. Built by Slay J’s Tackle—a brand known for salmon, steelhead, and trout-focused gear—the SuperNova fits naturally into twitching, drifting, and vertical jig applications.
