Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 14, 2015 Super User Posted October 14, 2015 I've been using Berkeley swim shads and catching some good fish but they aren't weedless enough for the places I fish lol... So I was thinking about getting some jigheads for paddle tail swimbaits, which ones do you guys use that have a weedguard? I was thinking about just ordering some naked seibert swim Jigheads... Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 14, 2015 Super User Posted October 14, 2015 Check out the Owner Sled Head - no weed guard - doesn't need one. Comes right through just about anything. A-Jay Quote
RyanFishing Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I just use a swimbait hook with a screw lock in the front. It works just like an ewg and keeps it weedless and the screw lock holds it on well. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted October 14, 2015 Super User Posted October 14, 2015 I do the same as Ryan, or else I'll use a keel weighted hook depending on the bait. You could just use a swimjig head too, but if it's weedy, you'll bet better performance from a swimbait hook. Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 14, 2015 Super User Posted October 14, 2015 Blade Runner makes a good weedless swimbait jig. Tom Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted October 15, 2015 Super User Posted October 15, 2015 I like the Warbaits head for a weedless swimbait jighead. I usually just a regular swimbait hook around vegetation though. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 20, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2015 Going through Seibert for naked jigs might be a good option. I pour my own naked swim jig heads when I need weedless swimbait heads. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 A bass style swim jig with a fiber weedguard are more brushless than weedless. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted October 20, 2015 Global Moderator Posted October 20, 2015 I guess I'm missing something.. For years I've just used a tex posed keel weighted twist lock hook, or a standard hook with either a pegged weight or bullet shaped glass bead depending on the depth of the grass I want to fish it through. I've seen the jig head, but didn't see any advantage to it over what I do. Mike Quote
Dogmatic Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Warbaits slayer weedless jigs, I know they make them for saltwater, but might work for you. Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted October 25, 2015 Super User Posted October 25, 2015 Swimbait weighted hooks slide right thru weeds really well. Get adjustable weights on them and you can adjust the way your bait falls.Sometimes that triggers strikes. Quote
