that is a awesome jig head. Do you use superglue with it. Also where did the plastic bait on the bottom right come from that is very interesting. It looks like a tadpole you have a great ideal. I've never seen that type jig head before.Quote:

That bait on the right is one of flatfishes.As long as the back on top of the bait is somewhat flat they stay put very well.No glue.I'll bend a couple of the rods up at the end,good idea grousefly.I like the hook eye being in the position that it is.Pulls the bait differantly.The black head is reserved for jigtwins black and silver 2" Baby shad.
