About this piece
The Deps Head Lock Jig is a football-style jig designed to trigger bites from sluggish bass through a unique standing action and low-trajectory bottom bumping. Its wide football head and recessed line eye create a stable, upright posture on the bottom, allowing the trailer to move with minimal rod input. The jig is built with a short-shank, offset-point hook and a V-shape spring wire weed guard for tackling heavy cover.
