About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football-style jig designed for slow, precise presentations to finicky bass. Its wide football head and rear-set line eye create a unique standing action that keeps the trailer moving while the head stays planted, and a low-trajectory bottom bumping action triggers reaction strikes.
Key features
- Wide football head prevents tipping over on the bottom
- Rear-set line eye creates a standing action, moving only the trailer
- Low-trajectory bottom bumping triggers reaction bites from sluggish bass
- Short shank, recurved point hook improves hook-up ratio on short bites
- High obstacle avoidance: head pulls upward when snagged, reducing hang-ups
Best for
- Slow fishing for pressured or inactive bass
- Fishing riprap, rock piles, and fish attractors
- Situations with short bites or tough conditions
