Solution I've posted many times:Quote:
collared jig heads will kill even the toughest of plastics really quickly .
limits tackle and constant pursuit make the toughest I have seen but as mentioned less tail action
1.Either buy no collar jigs or flatten the collar with pliers and cut them off using a wire cutter and then
2.Easily attach a soft plastic grub grip using the following method:

wrap once tightly:

snip one end close and bend tight with pilers:

swing the tip into the grub, worm or any other soft plastic:

The grub grip NEVER limits strikes. Works for any size or style jig.
Wouldn't fish without them:

In fact I caught 49 fish (4 species) yesterday using only soft plastics and the grub grip with bass as small as 2-3"!

Collars destroy soft plastic or if enough fish are caught the grub constantly slides back down the hook making the grub useless.
Doubt anyone on this forum has ever tried it even though I proven over the years that grubs can be used over and over for far more fish caught than not using it. It take little time and effort to make. A buddy I fish with uses Crappie Magnet Grubs with the gripper and caught over 30 fish on one single grub before the tail fell off!
