What's the selling point of the hatchet head? What does it do exactly? I've noticed lots of videos with people using them.
I’ve heard some say faster fall rate and see better on livescope. I’m not buying that. To me just another hook with weight on it and another style of head to fish with. I’m thinking about modifying one 1/8oz cavity to weedless to see maybe if it will be more “weedless” with that shape of head.

I think it doesn’t fall straight depending on how the head hits the water but my main reason for liking them is I think they come off branches a little better. I don’t think I get hung as bad. I still lose plenty but not as bad as other head styles. Guess it kicks it sideways maybe. Plus they make a very pretty hand tie.
You both said they might be more weedless. I'll be interested in your updates.
If they're more weedless, I'd save 10 lbs of lead a year. Do either one of you think they'd be less likely to wrap around a tree limb 26 times? I get hung up enough, but my son loves to squirrel hunt with crappie jigs.

I read that the shape was for dealing with rocky areas.
Maybe they will bite this one……
Yes I’m thinking shape of head might help snags. I’m going to take it a step farther and add a fiberguard.
I’ve tied the Richard Gene mono weed guard on them and fished them a very very long time on heavy brush. Go slow and don’t panic and no problems. Done this for a long time. Usually I’m lazy and don’t tie on the weed guard and still does ok in brush but not as well as with mono weed guard but still better than round types of jigs.
