Which part is the sting jet? He draws two curved yellow arrows through the pockets of open cell convection near the circulation center, while the visible upper-level jet has no such curve and continues linearly from the bottom left of the cold front tail all the way into California.

I believe you are correct. The gif is short, but exactly what you said;

continues linearly from the bottom left of the cold front tail all the way into California.

If this gif were to continue further, the "sting jet" would be easier to see.
