    send me a sample and I will gladly try it. Is it a lock jig to keep the plastic on the hook?

    Is that betterthan just putting a drop of super glue on a barbless jighead when attaching soft plastic? I get more casts and fish that way than screwing it on something to hold it. Just an observation from the old guy.

    strewing the plastic bait on the jig head is a little time-consuming but after it is on their it is on or using superglue is faster but I think put in your bait on that wire screw and again you would have to tear it apart to get it off I would think if they bent that wire like a arrow so it would have a hook would be a little bit faster I would have to draw a diagram to show you what I mean but my ideal would be extremely fast put them on.

    Yeah "G" I don't lose as many lures and they don't usually tear up when fishing panfish. Dip or spray with scent and you are back fishing instead of hunting in your tackle box for another one to put on. In the case of plastic minnows using super glue insures the dorsal fin is always on top no matter what the fish do that is trying to grab it. You just spend more time fishin than repairing the lure on the jighead.

    Ive used the super glue also I just didnt like it all that much.I havent tried these screw things yet . I made a few and sent a few different people. Im sure it will have its pros and cons just like any jighead. But hey it will be a good way to learn the different techniques and presentations on plastic baits.
