Which one
« on: January 12, 2009, 02:13:59 PM »
Which one is better or is there a difference Tip up or football jigs with screw-loc? I've been  thinking about getting one of these for shaky heads I have the round head with screw-loc but thinking about one of these so which one would you prefer will be fishing rocks and some brush and trees

I use a lot of tip up jigs but have often questioned whether they really tip up or not.   Whether they do or not they do catch a lot of fish.

Lots of people like the football heads.   I personally have not had as much success with the football as I have with plain round and shakey style fishing is about 90% of what I normally do.

I have the football one.  I like it.  Works great.  Most areas I shaky are rocky.

I just bought some football head style to try this year. I have always used the round head and did fine. But different heads for different situations is probably best.

I’m sure some will question my sanity (some already have!) but I use mushroom jigs with my shaky rigs. I buy them at Wall World; the kind with the wire weed guard.

Nope, don't question the sanity at all, before I got G's screw in  ones I used those. I had a lot of them and they worked good, the screw is just better to me especially when using a smaller worm and getting bit by small fish and setting the hook a lot.

The stainless screw locks are the best.  They hold up and dont tear up plastics like others.
