About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football-style jig designed for slow, pressured bass, with a standout standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. Its wide football head and rearward line eye keep the head stable on the bottom while the trailer moves, triggering reaction strikes from tight cover.
Key features
- Wide football head prevents tipping, ensuring stable bottom contact and enhanced feel.
- Rearward line eye creates a standing action that moves the trailer with minimal shaking.
- Short shank, recurve point hook penetrates easily and reduces drop rates.
- Low-trajectory bottom bumping imitates fleeing crawfish in rocky areas.
- Offset eye position helps the head pull upward to avoid snagging in riprap and rock piles.
- Custom trailer hold wire keeps soft plastics securely in place.
Best for
- Bottom fishing for bass in rocks, riprap, and artificial cover.
- Slow, finesse presentations when fish are inactive or pressured.
- Targeting bass holding tight to structure with precise, short-range casts.
