But I will disagree on the glue.

when I used glue,  the zinker/zero worm would eventually  rip apart where the hook exits the worm and I had to replace the whole worm. I couldn't re adjust it because it was glued to the head. I really like the TRD now instead of the zinker or zero but still use all 3 because of color options

w/o glue I just keep rotating it ., readjusting when needed, yes, it does take some fine tuning using a sickle, but I can keep on fishing the same worm, it doesn't tear apart where the hook exits. . the wire on a small Eagle Claw sickle hook is very small diameter and extremely strong. 

the special bend in the hooks prevents perch from easily pulling thee bait down the shank of the hook too

it was also faster/easier for me to change colors as needed w/o glue or having to re tie.  I just keep the same head tied on and just change the worm color 

No more rusty hooks from salted baits left on a cheap bronze hook for too long. I started out using bronze hooks and glue , so it's no glue and that nasty black nicklel hook for now.

I've had the same half a Zinker on one of Dave's jig heads since September.

It's literally caught dozens of fish.

I retie occasionally after a few fish or snags

PBJ is all I have to say.

I know.

I was sharing my experience with Dave's jigs.

Not intending anything else.

The PB&J Ned I have on a rod right now looks like a cat clawed it, it has tears and slits all over it. And yet, it continues to catch fish? Not sure why? I think I remember an article from Ned himself saying that he thinks he gets more bites on the lure when it gets all mangled.

Doesn't seem to make sense, but then, when it comes to fish, what does?

yep,so do some of mine .

but when the glued half a worm becomes torn in half where the hook exits it's time to replace it jmo

Why worry about it? Dave has been super generous in sharing his experience , expertise and product with many of us.

You also have shared your valuable insight on the Ned and other ideas.

This isn't a pissing contest.

 don;t worry about it,  it's just funny to meMerry Xmas to you snagged, gitnby.Ham will probably hate me for saying this but I don't fish the rig much on huge reservoirs.  It's a great numbers bait imo  I like to chase biggins. does it catch some biggins out of TR and Bull, yes. In ponds,rivers, or other small waters , it's my "go to" .  didn't intend derailing this thread  man I apologize Eric

No "hate" from me. I am what I am. I like getting bit. I like catching fish. I've caught some big fish and I'll probably catch a few more. I'll just have to work my way thru thousands of smaller fish to get to them. I'm ok with that.
