Jigheads that Show Up Better on Livescope?

[slabbandit]

I've noticed that some styles of jigheads show up better on Livescope than others. I read a story somewhere about a guy shooting jigs under a metal dock when he hit one of the metal cross pieces. After that, his jig shined so much brighter that for a minute he thought he had a small fish messing with it. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his jighead had been distorted from the damage. I've noticed that I have some styles of jigheads that appear to be brighter than others. Has anybody else found any that do this for them?

I haven’t noticed any difference on LS.
Some swear by Pill Heads but it really depends on the angle of jig to transducer. Maybe pill head in a perfect world vertically fishing but that doesn’t happen very often.
I have no problem seeing and tracking a 1/32 without splitshot at 25 feet regardless of jig type.

I think chrome colored jig heads show up better than others on livescope

The only difference I see is a larger jig head seems easier to track than a small one.

not sure , but some do seem to be more visible than others , likely size related more than anything else is my thought

Maybe a flat surface gives a better return? Neat. Now someone has to hammer a jighead into a square and test it.

Crappie Magnet and Eye Hole jigs have already done the work for you. Suppose to help with forward facing sonar. Check them out.

Limits tackle has a good one.

Limits tackle has a good one.

The wedge head jig or another?

I think the idea has merit.
