if you will put a weedguard on some of them jelly jigs I dont think you could make em fast enough. I know I'll be emptying my piggy bank !!!! you can also take a jighead with no collar bend the hook down about 1/4 inch behind head, make it look like an old tru turn worm hook. then hook it like a texas style plastic worm. you can throw it in anything. only bad thing is everytime you get a bite and set the hook it pulls your pannies down. I prefer a fiber guard but fish with both
