About this piece
The Deps Clinghead Jig is a specialized football-style jig designed to intentionally snag on structure to trigger strikes, using a forward low-center-of-gravity head and horizontal line eye to maintain position and facilitate controlled presentation. It features a wide gap hook, trailer holder wire, and a tuning-free guard for effective structure fishing around branches and rocks.
