Which bill length would give your lure the most action or best wobble?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
The length of the bill is different for each size of jig head. We have trimmed down some jig heads to get a little tighter wobble when retrieving.
A:
The perfect finesse hook has a shorter neck so you don't get enough bite but the perfect worm hook has a 1/2 inch neck does very well with the trick worm, finesse worm, and the senkoDetails:

I had the best luck throwing this type jighead (not Scrounger) with a Fluke in large openly spaced pads, just swimming it over and around the pads. The Fluke would come off a pad, wiggling, streaming bubbles, and would get nailed almost immediately!A:
Use it with a swimbait. Shallower water, over weedbeds, in sparse pads, and reeds. Reel it in, pause and let it fall, or jig it. Think of it as a soft crankbait. Great fish catching tool.A:
it can very just like texas rigging. You can crawl it or make it hop like a jig.A:
I fish it like a swimbait with a plastic minnow. I have found that you can use a very slow retrieve to try and bounce off mid to bottom structure or swim a little faster to trigger a reacton strike.If you want to burn these just under the surface, make sure you go with the long bill version. Otherwise you will be dissatisfied with the product.

just reel it in

Use 10-12 # test with the light jigs and 15 # for the heavier jigs. I use soft hollow belly swimbaits and worms with a large paddle tail . They are very effective by reeling slowly with an occasional quick jerk. I fish them close to bottom by inetially starting off the bottom and letting them drop back to the bottom at the end of one my quick jerks. Try to keep a good eye on the line while dropping because this is the usual time of the strike.Good luck!Answers

I don't see any barbs to hold the bait, how well does the bait stay on when making hard casts?
Answers
A:
pretty well. I throw a senko on braid and I make long casts. It will ason throw a trick worm the same.

A:
The bait seems to stay on very well. I rigged this jighead with a 4" Powerbait Power Minnow. It stayed on the whole time I used it, and didn't have to adjust it at all after catching fish on it.
A:
it looks like there maybe a small barb on the backside of that photo. Regardless, a small dab of crazy glue is a very common tool in the fishermans toolbox.Details:
Anyone have any trouble with these not vibrating? I used them with the clip and a curly tail grub. Seems like the bait wouldn't vibrate as it shoud. Any suggestions? ThanksAnswers
A:
I get one that has that problem from time to time. I just get another one.A:
When you say viberating I assume you mean shaking. Try using the smallest jig head you can. A 1/16 to 3/16 works good for me. I also find they work best with finesse worms.Details:
I got a pack of these a while ago and I lost the clip that attaches to the hook eye so I wanted to know if the jighead would operate properly with out it.Answers
A:
no didnt realize it came with first time i used them and i did greatA:
NOT AS WELL. WHEN I GOT MINE IN THE MAIL - MY PACKAGE WAS OPEN AND THE CLIPS WEREN'T IN THERE SO I TRIED IT WITHOUT THE CLIP - NOT A GOOD IDEA. THE CLIP ALLOWS FOR A MUCH BROADER SWING IN THE BAIT.A:
I would recommed the clips to allow the proper action of the bait. You can buy something like a normans speed clip that might work as well.Answers
A:
THE JUGS THEMSELVES ARE PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL. I WAS SUPRISED BUT IN A GOOD WAY. I HAVE THE 1/2 & 3/4 OUNCE BAITS AND HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH THEM. THE 1/2 CAN BE FISHED SHALLOW OR DEEP WITH A 5 INCH BAIT EASILY. I PROBABLY WONT GO LESS THAN 4 INCH WITH THE 1/2. THE 3/4 CAN HADLE A 7 INCH SWIMBAIT EASILY.A:
3/16 oz. to 1oz. The 3/16 works well with 3" to 4" baits and 1/4 oz. works with 3.5 to 5" baits. experiment with different sozes. When you get the right size the fish will tell you!A:
1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 1/2, 1 ounceAnswers
A:
It depends on how deep you are fishing them. You want to use the smallest jig head you can get away with. For a 5 inch bait a 1/16 to 3/16 oz should work well.A:
really depends on how deep and how fast you want to fishA:
I HAVE THE 1/2 & 3/4 OUNCE SIZES AND I USE BOTH WEIGHTS FOR THE 5 INCH BAIT. I FISH DOWN TO 45 FEET WITH THE 3/4 OUNCE WITH SUCCESS & FROM THE SHALLOWS TO 20 FEET DEEP WITH THE 1/2 OUNCE SIZE.THE 1/2 OUNCE IS BEST ALL AROUND FOR THE 5 INCH BAIT.
A:
Size of the jig depends on the depth and speed in which you are going to use them. slow retrieve up to 8 feet 1/4 oz. Over 8 feet you may what to look at the 1/2 oz if you are using a moderate to fast retreive.A:
i use a 1/4 oz on a regular zoom fluke which i believe is 6 in and have had no problems with hooksets or catching fish. the bass inhale itA:
I would use the 1/4 oz. as a minimun, but the 3/8 or 1/2 oz. would work well. I use the size for the depth that I want to fish. Also current determines the size also and the size of the bait in you lake. The zoom fluke in the Arkansas Shiner in the Tiny or regular size would match those Tenn. lakes, depending on the time of year and the size for the baitfish in your lake. Hope this helps.A:
1/4 or 1/2 ounceA:
you can go with either of the versions that have the large 3/0 hook. the length of bill is preference as to how fast or high up you want your retrieve to be. it tells you that part in the description. but as far as matching size of plastic to the jighead. the 3/0 should be good for anything above 4.5 inches, sorta like the same for a swimbait or worm rule. A normal 5 inch worm or swimbait almost always would get at least a 3/0 hook.1 of 1
