About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football jig designed to trigger slow, pressured bass with its unique standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. The wide head design and rearward line eye position create a stable, upright posture that moves the trailer effectively while minimizing movement, keeping the bait in the strike zone longer.
Key features
- Rearward line eye position for standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping
- Wide football head design prevents tipping over and enhances bottom feel
- Short shank, offset point hook with exaggerated bend for hard-penetrating hooksets
- Built-in wire trailer keeper secures soft plastic trailers
- Designed to clear snags by deflecting upward instead of hanging up
Best for
- Flipping and pitching around rock piles, riprap, and docks
- Slow dragging and crawling over rocky or weedy bottoms
- Targeting pressured or lethargic bass in clear to stained water
- Imitating crayfish in a defensive, backing-up posture
