    Default Weedless Jigs?

    Any body using em? I tried the Do-it weedguard 1/16 & 1/8 round heads once and couldn't seem to set the hook.

    I've tried them in the past but lost to many fish.Now I'll just put a soft berkley power nibble or wiggler and put it over the barb of the hook.The sickle hooks are sharp enoughto go right through the bait into the fishes mouth.I hardly ever lose lose a fish this way.This isn't totally weedless,I still get snagged up a lot but if you aren't getting snagged up you aren't fishing where you should be.

    I only use them when fishing really thick cover. I miss very few fish at least on a good bite. If they are just slightly taking it or the fish are running small, I don't worry about missing a strike now and then. Overall, it is well worth my time to be able to fish really thick cover/brush and not have to retie all the time. I also use them to see if the fish in the deep cover are active at all. If they are, then I can fish a regular jig on the outside of the brush/cover.
