Tim Kelly Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Do these things have any real advantages in the real world? They look impressive in their promotional material, but I wonder if they really make much difference in practice? Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted April 2, 2014 Super User Posted April 2, 2014 I did get to fish them when I was down on Table Rock lake and all I can say is, I found a new jig! The *** is everything they say it is!!!!!! It is very hard to get hung-up and it hooks the bass in the top of the head.GREAT JIG! Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 I just bought 8 *** heads for a trip next week. I'm curious to see if they live up to the hype. I will post back after I've had a chance to use them. Quote
Got1Fishing Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ive used them and they are great. They really do go through cover better than any of my other jigs... even my brush head jigs. I will say that the only thing I don't like about them is that the hook size looks small compared to the size of the jig head. Quote
Tim Kelly Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 I did wonder about the hook ups. The weed guard prongs look quite thick. Do they seem to hook as well as conventional jigs? Quote

Super User WRB Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 The later models (Iovino- TW series) use a Owner hook and work good in around cover, wood and rocks. Not sure what hook is standard today? Tom Quote

Super User WRB Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 I wonder if they have a heavy wire hook?Depending on jig wt and hook size: .062-.065 D wire. Quote
