    Default Barb or not barb with BGBS


    For those using Bobby Garland Baby Shad do you use barbed or barbless collars?

    I use a standard "ball" collar jig head with no problems. I don't think you'd be able to use a barb-less head without using super glue to keep the plastic on the jig. BGBS are truly great baits.

    I use barbed to hold them on better but they tear up too easily with some of the big barbs they have on them. I am in the process of buying some wire keepers instead of the barb to hold the 2" baby shad. If I don't have any good barbs I use collarless and they last longer. I love me some BG's, all flavors!!!

    I used barbed heads also. I trim the barbs a little and then use a dab of super glue. The bodies will last a long time. Or until I bang them up under a dock and have to break them off.
