About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig 1oz is a football jig designed for slow, bottom-hugging presentations. Its wide head and rear-set line eye create a unique standing action that keeps the trailer moving even with minimal rod movement, making it ideal for targeting finicky bass in tough conditions.
Key features
- Wide football head design prevents tipping and enhances bottom contact sensitivity
- Rear-set line eye enables standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping
- Short shank, recurved point hook for solid hooksets and reduced drop-offs
- High obstacle avoidance: head slips upward when wedged, reducing snags
- Custom trailer hold wire secures soft plastics
Best for
- Slow, precise bottom presentations for pressured bass
- Rock areas, riprap, and fish attractors where snagging is a concern
- Imitating crawfish defensive behavior with subtle shaking
- Short-striking or neutral bass in clear to stained water
