About this piece
The Deps Headlock Jig is a football-style jig designed for slow, precise bottom presentations. Its wide head, rear-set line eye, and short shank hook create a standing action that moves the trailer while keeping the head stable on the bottom.
Key features
- Wide football head prevents tipping for stable bottom contact
- Rear-set line eye produces standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping
- Short shank hook with recurve point penetrates easily and reduces drop-offs
- V-shaped wire weed guard (0.35mm) deflects snags without hindering lure action
- Head shape helps clear obstructions by pulling upward instead of forward
Best for
- Flipping and pitching into rock piles, riprap, and brush
- Slow-dragging around hard-bottom structures and creek channels
- Targeting pressured or lethargic bass in cold or clear water
