Put one of these on there first then tip. Rarely hang up and catch well.

... and wasn't impressed. They work pretty good, on the first use ... but, after having to set the hook point back into them a couple of times, then they tend to not be so good. They also aren't stiff enough, and the guard can & will bend toward the shaft of the hook (instead of away from the hook shaft) ... which renders them basically useless.

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

Weedless jigs are nice in heavy brush ,but I feel you miss alot of fish because of the weed gaurd, might just be me but what I think.

I just try to keep my minnows out of the grass haha but it never seems that i get alot of grass on mine. I focus my minnows on a mud bottom bank than with alot of grass but yeah if heard of these methods before some work but i dont do good with minnows and jigs unless the jigs are tiny :P

I hate handpickin' a good sized minnow out of the bucket just to have it come off the hook as I put the pole in the water!

You hit that on the head.
