What Plastics Would You Use On This? Spider Pro Head

[bkohlman]

I received some as a gift and I would like to know if you use them, and what you use with them?

[Sam]

Anything you want.

I have been using these with biffle bugs to great success this year. Both small and large - mouthed bass. They are fairly snag resistant in rocks too; though not perfect. Drag 'em slowly along the bottom.

What about a tube plastic. Slip the weight in the front of the tube and T-rig it?

Also hello from a former Kansas guy. I used to live in Augusta for about 6 years.

Finesse worms and centepedes work great on them as do small craws and creature baits. I prefer to use them with worms that are too thin to work with regular shakeyheads.

This all sounds great!

The hooks on these heads are quite a bit stronger than the hooks on the regular Brewer spider head. I wouldn't go any lighter than 8 lb test. This head along with 14 lb Fireline and a 20 lb Fluorocarbon leader is my standard borrower gear, what a lend to a buddy who doesn't fish much. It was made to fish Slider worms (4"). If you have any of the old Powerbait bungee worms, it works good with those. My buds who don't fish much find they get a better feel with a 5" or 6" paddle tail worm. It works ok with Chompers or other hula grub type baits, you get a really slow drop. IMO other jig heads work better for Chompers because I'm looking for a much faster drop more often than not. Go to the Brewer web site and you'll find they make a wide variety of weights in that basic head design. Some of them are on wide gap hooks.

Lizards, Craws, Worms, Tubes......basically anything you would Texas Rig with a pegged sinker.....same principle here. The hooks are pretty strong as previously posted. Might try jamming inside a 4" tube until the eye comes out and tie on that way......be suprised at the action it will give the tube.

That head is my go-to...at this point I could probably keep the company afloat just with my purchases. I use it for any sort of finesse plastic imaginable...but it shines with Zoom finesse worms and U-tails. And for those of us (like Fishes in trees) lucky enough to still have Bungee worms left over...well, I won't get into that. Like someone said before, that hook is much more stout than a regular Slider hook. I use 10 and 15 lb braid to drive that baby home on my spinning rigs.

What makes the slider head shape so awesome is that it is "bullet" enough to come through grass, but rounded enough on bottom to give a stand-up appearance for shaky-heads.

I am glad I can get all of this info here! You guys are all very helpful and I probably owe you a beverage.

It would work with any of your favorite plastics. Try it with a Rage Anaconda, or Yamamoto Kut Tail, or maybe a Yamamoto Kreature.

Match your plastic with the correct hook size. Both the classic spider head and pro spider head come with either 2/0 hooks or 3/0 hooks... know the difference. I prefer the classic jigs over the pro jigs... better hooking for me.
