I'm still pondering this technique, reading articles here & there. Another similar & interesting plot is to stick a straight tailed worm on a ballhead jig, hook exposed, 10 lb line. Swim it over weeds, ticking the tops. When it gets hung, give it a yank. Any observing bass will jump all over it, a classic reaction strike. In-Fisherman's Lindner boys were big on this technique, and I'd bet it would work well here in the right circumstances.
So, has anybody done it? Getting hungup is a key part of the technique, so I might be pretty good at it. C&R, Steve

auburn S&M have both stlyes of pegs. reaction innovation makes one with a spring and the spot remover mentioned above. i have used both and prefer the peg type. for what you have shown i would not reccomend either of these jigheads on a tube or grub, but would think what you have shown would work better since you would have less "sliding"issues with the bait. troy

Anybody like the retainer spring type, or prefer the lead peg thang? I should stop by Auburn S&M and see what they have.

Meanwhile, I don't see that the Owner "Bullet" jighead is doing me any harm. I think I'll want more rod umph, tho, than my Lamiglass DS rod has to offer. This place shows 'em in a tube, but I almost always use them on grubs, "Texas rigged". They're a good fit for the 5" Yam. grubs, but I also use them on 5" Kalins by cutting 1/2" off the nose of the grub. C&R, Steve

most of my shakey head fishing is done with a jighead called a spot remover. as far as rod power goes i use my dropshot rod some time and just a 1 power lamiglas the rest of the time. the only problem i have with the jighead i use is that after 1 or 2 fish the worm gets torn pretty bad and you have to use a new one cause the old one will slide off the peg. troy

I've found a lot of different designs online, but can't decide, or can't see an advantage over my favorite Owner "Bullet Head" jigs. What works best for y'all? I tried the search engine and didn't get any results. Does it usually work? C&R, Steve PS: How much rod power and how heavy a line do you need for this, with our weeds?
