Just wondering if anyone uses these. They come in various weights with 2/0 and 4/0 size Gamakatsu hooks. Seems pretty convenient with the weight being built into the hook. Less to deal with when rigging. Is there a downside to these Im not seeing?

The hook is very light wire and straightens easily. They also snag much easier than a normal T-rig for some reason. I was not a fan of them but I know some guys love them.

those were originally designed by joe bennett, and they were called jobee's hook. not for sure if i spelled that right or not. i know a bit of the background of the hook, and i am not for sure that the manufacture in question came by them quite honest.

as far as the hook set up itself, i have not used one. to start with, i am not a fan of that style of hook, and it is a flimsy hook. from my own experience, a stouter hook will penetrate with less force than a flimsy one will.

I bought some 1/0's a few years ago. Definetely not a fan of it for TX rigging. A bullet weight and seperate hook have more flex and wiggle.

One day I noticed a bunch of bass fry all over a hydrilla covered flat. Looking thru my box, I found some 3" paddle tail bass assasin grubs in baby bass color.limited to shore, with veggitation in the water everywhere, the normal exposed ball head wasn't a good option. I stumbled across these jigs which I'd literally used 1 time in 3 years. Long story short and 30 fish later That started my use of these jigs.

You have to watch them when using braid. The hooks do flex a bit. Its the design, just perfect for pulling grubs through grass that I like. Wish someone made a better quality model, but the luck e's work

I barely tx rig worms anymore. The rage rig has taken it's place.

Try Owner's Sled Heads. They all all I use for a shaky head anymore because they come through cover so well.

How do you rage rig something. I'm still new and haven't heard of it.

I bought a pack of Owners. I thought it was good idea first, but then I quickly realized that I am stuck with the hook size they use. I probably would not buy these type of set up any more. I rather have the freedom of selecting the hook size for the bait and weight for the depth by using T-rig.
