Berkley Ned Jig Heads

[The Bassman]

Just got my TW Black Friday order.  Got some new Berkley "Half-Head" jigs with the new serrated style keeper.  Seems to work real well with Elaztech plastics.  Z-Man has the same thing now but more expensive. Perfect hook size for midwest finesse tactics.  Keeping the bait pinned has been my main problem with Elaztech.  S'hroom heads worked fine but the hook was inferior (to my thinking).

Really curious how these will take some abuse from rocks and snags. I have some of these coming from TW and some Morels from Siebert. The price point on the Berkley jigs is very good.

I find the morels to be a really good  quality jighead.  I just can't get the plastic to grab the keeper.

There's a trick to it. Push up and past the point of the keeper, then push down and around the keeper so the bait stretches around each side of the hook. Once you push hard enough you'll feel a "pop" and often see the keeper stuck through the back side of the a just a tiny bit. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to rig and change out baits also.
