About this piece
The Deps Flat Back Jig is a heavy-cover flipping jig engineered to slip through dense vegetation and vegetation and hook big bass solidly in the upper jaw. Its low-center-of-gravity, flat wide head design with a forward line-tie provides excellent weed-shedding and hook-up response, while the custom heavy-wire hook and brush guard handle brutal battles in thick cover. This jig is also effective for swimming — its unique streamlined skirt produces turbulent water and a wide silhouette that triggers bites in dying weed lines and along breaklines when retrieved uphill.
