About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football-style jig designed for slow, pressured bass with a unique standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. A significantly recessed line-eye position and wide football head create a stable upright posture on the bottom, moving only the trailer to entice strikes with minimal retrieve distance.
Key features
- Recessed line-eye position for upward escape from snags in rocky areas
- Wide football head prevents tipping over for stable bottom contact
- Custom Nemu Point short-shank hook penetrates with light force and reduces drop-offs
- Trailer hold wire securely keeps soft-plastic trailers in place
- Standing action mimics a crayfish backing away while threatening
Best for
- Flipping and pitching into rock piles, riprap, and fish attracting structures
- Slow dragging and crawling in clear to moderately stained water
- Targeting pressured or lethargic bass that require a finesse presentation
- Fishing hard-bottom lakes, reservoirs, and river current seams
