I am also impressed by the decoy jigheads but I don’t use the same one you and Stan use
I think you will be surprised by the Decoy head. A couple weeks ago I stuck a bunch of fish species with the 1.2 or 1.5 gram (can’t remember which) head and a BGBS Baby Shad. Included was an 18in Largemouth that gave me a ride on the ABU Eradicator, reported on it here. Well tonight I hit that same point 15 minutes before dark and got 4 bites and stuck 4 fish...all 4 Crappie. Tonight I was using the 1.5gram Decoy head with the #8 hook with same plastic. Of course I use braid, the Sunline Saltwater Special Small Game PE-HG in 3lb and it will flat stick a hook in the fishes jaw quick. So far no complaints here on the Decoy, looking forward to your results.

Only caught a few fish with the Decoy. The one thing I know for sure is the lure keeper part works great. Had a bunch of the little nippers. It really holds a TM body. That could be very useful when getting into stacked bluegill. I like the shape and feel of the jig head. As soon as the bluegill stack up in the dead lock I’ll be able to give it a workout.

Oh wow....not good. I do bend the hook in a little bit but not a lot. I have yet to lose one, especially at the net. I think we are both fishing deep as the water temperatures and time of year dictates their position in the water column. I am using the full size BGBS plastics with the #8 hook and have no issues. In your last video it looked as is they were taking the bait deep and no problems with hook ups??

A tip when using the 2.3 lb Varivas ester line: Keep a little bottle of booze in the boat to cheer you up when a magnum spotted bass breaks you off in the brush.
Man, I so wanted to land that fish, but I was completely under-gunned for the job.

An Extra Spool with Unitaka 3 or 4lb braid in the boat might help tame those spotted beasts....just sayin :-)
