About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football-style jig designed to provoke strikes from slow, pressured bass through a unique standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. Its significantly recessed line-eye position and wide football head prevent the jig from tipping over, allowing the trailer to work with minimal movement.
Key features
- Wide football head design prevents tipping for stable bottom contact.
- Recessed line-eye position creates a standing action that moves the trailer with subtle shakes.
- Low-trajectory bottom bumping imitates fleeing crustaceans for reaction bites.
- Short-shank, curved-point hook penetrates easily and reduces drop-offs.
- Custom trailer-hold wire secures soft-plastic trailers.
- High snag resistance in rock piles due to upward escape angle.
Best for
- Flipping and pitching into cover like rock piles, riprap, and weed edges.
- Targeting pressured or lethargic bass in clear to stained water.
- Slow, finesse presentations in tough fishing conditions.
