About this piece
The Deps Head Lock Jig is a football-style jig designed to provoke strikes from slow, finicky bass through a unique standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. Its wide head and offset line eye create effective trailer movement with minimal rod input, imitating retreating crustaceans. The jig excels in rock areas, with a rearward eye position that helps clear snags by deflecting upward.
Key features
