One of my best colder water baits is a 4" plastic worm, threaded onto a ball head jig. Mostly a Roboworm or a Zoom finesse worm. When Z Man first introduced they're Ned Rig head, I thought this was a great design, with the wire keeper on the hook shank. I'm not much of a Ned Rig fisherman, and prefer a ball head jig. The best keepers I've found so far are made by Eagle Claw. These have two barbs, upper and lower on the hook shank. They seem to hold a worm in place for a good time, and also have a sickle hook. With other heads, I've tried glue with mixed results. I've used Lok Tite gel, and the small tubes of Super Glue. The small tubes of Super Glue gel dry up after one use. In my last thread on jig worm fishing, WRB mentioned that he used to put ball head jigs in a vice, and flatten them slightly, making them an aspirin shaped head. This aspirin head was made famous by small mouth expert Billy Westmoreland years ago, and known as the Hoss Fly jig, tied with bear hair and later craft hair. I plan on making some aspirin heads for jig worm fishing also. Another good tip from WRB. My question is what jig heads have you had good luck with, without using glue? And secondly, if I do end up having to use glue, what's the best glue you've tried for attaching soft plastic baits to a jig head?
