I'm more into using these, when I want a weedless jig :

I have Grousefly make these for me ;)
Oh yeah, I've also tried the dental rubber band trick :p ... where you take one of those dental/braces rubber bands, and hook it around the jig's line eye & then under the hook point barb. It works, but it's one more piece of equipment to have, and one more step in getting your jig "weedless" ... when, if I use the two jigs pictured, they're ready to go right out of the package :D
