About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football jig designed for slow, bottom-bumping presentations. Its wide head and offset line eye create a unique standing action that moves the trailer effectively with minimal rod movement, while the short shank, curved point hook ensures solid hooksets. This jig excels in tough conditions and short-bite situations.
