[cool][#0000ff]I haven't contributed for awhile. Thought some folks might be interested in a style of fishing with jig heads that I have been playing around with. The attached writeup will go into more detail.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Basically, the bobber-heads are designed to fish bait below a bobber. You can use any old jig head or even a plastic, feather jig or baitbug, but sometimes "plain vanilla" is even better. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have been pouring jig heads on the super sharp thin wire Matzuo red jig hooks. These things are SHARP. I lose blood everytime I handle them. Great weight loss program. They really work great for hanging bait under a bobber. When the fish hits, the hook hangs on until you can set the hook.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On one of my last trips to Lincoln Beach, the water was a few degrees cooler and the catfish were slower than they had been. Using the bobber-head jigs to present a half minnow, right above the bottom, was the difference between taking home 4 nice channels and zippo.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The attached writeup and pics should pretty much explain the jigs and the methodology. I am sure that there are a whole bunch of potential applications. The best ones are in shallower waters or using a slip bobber to reach greater depths.[/#0000ff]
