Big Bite Baits DS Jig Hook

[the reel ess]

I bought some of these just because I love to fish craw type baits. Has anyone tried them? Sort of a cross between the T-rig and a jig. Looks like they'd remove the need to peg a sinker, but also cast and come thru grass quite well.

I did a poor job of showing the line tie, but it goes up about 30 degrees or so.

Looks pretty similar to a VMC Rugby jig head.

Cool. These do look like a good option for craw-sized baits in grass.  VMC rugby head and Owner Ultrahead bullet and finesse ball heads have a similar style, with an EWG hook behind a leadhead. The charlie brewer spider slider too. I use all of those a lot and I really like the design -- I've wondered for awhile why more companies don't make a version of the same thing. The owner ball head is my standard shakyhead, and it has a tie at about the same angle, but vertical and not recessed.

I was really looking for a bare Arky jighead with a fiber weed guard for Hula Grubs. But Academy didn't have any. I saw these and liked the look of them. I don't know who makes the hook, but I use braid so it shouldn't matter too much.

@the reel ess tell us how you made out with these ds jigheads you bought back last April.

 

I went into an Academy for the first time in my life today (they recently opened one within striking range for me) and was surprised to learn BBB makes jigs!).

 

They apparently have Gammy hooks and seem to have a good length to put a swimbait (or anything) on.  

 

Any luck?

Its one of my go to hooks. i use it for weedless keitechs, senkos and for flippin craws. Great product. Just easy on the drag, its not a real beefy hook

Well, I'm glad you asked.  They are really too big for what I wanted them for: Chigger Craws and Hula Grubs. I have discovered shakey jigheads are better for the Hula Grubs. The BB jigheads are good for big to monster size worms though. And I think they'd be good for fishing soft plastic swimbaits down into weedy cover. They stay in the box because I know there will be a time they're just what the doctor ordered.
