Arky Jig Head Rigging

[5/0]

It’s probably an unusual question, but are arky jig heads without a skirt used with craws, creatures, or swim baits? Or would a TRig, Swing head, or Jika rig be a better option?

 

Thanks….Joe

I’ve used plastics on them after the rubber band on the skirt rotted away . Crawdad and speed worm I think, seems like I caught a couple but nothing big

Of course they’ll still work. The bait falls differently depending on how it’s rigged or what it’s rigged on so a jighead is just another option. 
 

I think it would work well for an aggressive hopping or stroking retrieve.

Thanks! Bought them to add skirts, debating on whether to carry them plain as an alternative.

A weedless head with just a creature or craw is kind a not so secret bait on LOZ when guys want a small profile than a standard jig.

Any plastic that looks like a craw. This type jig will skip very easily with a Rage Bug. When I first started jig fishing I used this head a lot with a Rage Craw, no skirt. I caught some good fish on it. But it's not much different from a pitching T rig setup. And I find the T rig gets hung up a lot less. If I want to use a jig in cover I usually use the Game Changer Trashmaster. It has a screwlock and the plastic is rigged like a T rig on an EWG hook. It is much more weedless than any conventional jig I've found. I've been using the same one so long almost the entire skirt is gone. Rigged with a bug type plastic it skips extremely well for a jig.
