Snagproof Bass Grabber Jig??//

[eyedabassman]

I did see this new jig on a TV show today. What a cool looking jig with two hooks! Your hook up's have to be much better. Where can I get some? Has anyone fished them? I did go on the Snagproof web site and I think you can order them there,but I would like to know if any online tackle sites have them? they are $8.75 on there web site! :'(

yeaa i seen this in the mornin on tv...it seems pretty neat..but i don't know how good that it would work in thicker cover..but still it seems pretty neat

haha i saw them too. didn't watch it long enough to find out it had two hooks.

I haven't used them and by looking at them I probally won't. Looks pretty hangy and I would be iffy to the double hook thing. I really don't get the concept. Jigs can be tough to distiguish a bite sometimes. Alot of times my rod may not be in the right position for a the desired quick hookset. Driving one hook though in time, can be tough when caught off guard by a light hit. Driving two though would have to be tougher. Another feature that stands out is the hooks leaning to the side. They look like they wouldn't get as deep of a hookset. I just don't see the need to mess with perfection, except for $$$. Just my thoughts. Like I said I haven't tried them.

Ok,it has been awhile now that I did ask about these jigs, so have any of you had a chance to fish this jig? And what do you say, ?

I agree 100%, besides I can only imagine fishing these things in some of the brush at my local lake.  It would be hang up after hang up.  Not for me.

im just gettin in to jig fishin but.........im gonna stay with the traditional. it looks like they're trying to hard to make a better product

[Big-O]

interesting concept but I don't have a problem on hook up's with traditional jigs. I fish timber alot and don't need another reason to leave a jig down there. Plus when I do get hung up, I can bend the hook a bit normally with stronger line to get it loose. Don't think I can bend two of them.

[eyedabassman]

I think the answer is ,but I did buy two of them to try this year. Just wanted to know if anyone fished them yet or am I the only sucker?

I don't think that this jig is going to be a jack of all trades in the jig field.  It will probably do a great job on submerged structure with sparse cover.  I doubt it can go through some of the stuff that I put my jigs through though.  I guess it all depends on how you fish though.  It's easy not to get hung up with an exposed hook or traditional jig when flipping or pitching.  Maybe this is the same way.

I'm maintaining  a possible neutrality on this one.  I LOVE snagproof products.  Chances are I'll try the jig.

[Popeye]

IMO, nothing is snag proof. Those are good looking jigs, though. I just bought some Strike King jigs to use this Sunday and I'm anxious to check them out.

I have had a lot of success with this jig.  You are right as they are more expensive but when a tournament is on the line one fish can make all the difference in the world.  I don't see why you wouldn't at least try it.  

[Big Tom]

This is the first I have heard since I read the article about them in Bass Master a while back.  They look to be quality made and at almost 10 bucks a pop they better be.  I think it would be neat to have one in the tacklebox but it really isn't offering anything new.  If I remember correctly the article talked like the double hooks added a great deal of stability therefore increasing hookups because the jig hardly ever rolled over.  The evolution jigs do that though and look better in my opinion.

It is true a jig is the best big fish lure on the market.  And I fish a jig about 90% of the time.  However, there have been days when I would catch a fish in the bottom lip and on those days I would loose about 50% of my bites.  My quess is that the fish was picking the bait up with it laying on the bottom.

With the two hook jig, I found that it does not work very well in grass, and most of the time I catch the fish on just one hook, but when it is laying on the bottom, one hook is always up.  As far as coming through heavy cover, I have found this if I use my girlfriends curling iron, I can spread the weed guards a little more, and fish it in real heavy cover, logs, woods, bushes, whatever.  And by using a no stretch line (flourocarbon-braid) hook penetration is not an issue.  I have no trouble in hooking the fish and once he is hooked, he is mine.
