I work my jig very slow most of the time...but that's when it's already on the bottom!? I think the sizes in my pic are 1/16, 1/8/ and 3/16. Of the three the 3/16 is the only one that doesn't make my head explode, and I like a slow fall, no feel approach. My favorite weight in a hair jig is 1/8, thought that would be the deal. I started playing with these about two years before I picked up the other bait... Mitch f 1
Champ188 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Duct tape around your head will keep it from exploding most times. And you aren't just stuck with silver these days --- they have lots of cool colors. dtrs5kprs, Quillback, Map Guy and 2 others 5
Smithvillesteve Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Very interesting. But I too will stick with my boy Dave. I love his jig heads and he has been good to me!! Responds to my questions, gets me my order in a timely fashion. The only thing wrong with Dave is that he is a Jayhawk!!

Less flexible, more of a plastic feel.

Sore Thumbs Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 I need to get with Dave and order some. I got my younger brother Hooked on the Ned rig. We could order a big batch together.

96 CHAMP Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Gene larew is coming out with a " Ned rig inch worm " also, I can't get it to come up, maybe someone here can look into it. Looks like a paddle tail ring worm actually that you can break off in sections I believe

Looks like a paddle tail ring worm actually that you can break off in sections I believe I have 40 eleven different soft plastic worms that I could use on my Ned rig AND they would catch fish, BUT I'm always going to use Z man cut zinkers. Day in and day out I don't believe you can beat it. Champ188, dtrs5kprs and abkeenan 3 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
