A) Trimming

the wire weed guard

Trimming

the wire weed guard down to one eighth of an inch above

the jig's hook point is a modification that will pay off

for anglers in a few ways. By trimming the wire weed

guard down, the jig will stay weedless in most types of

cover and it doesn't hamper your hook sets, especially on

bigger bass.

B) Wire

weed guard fanning

Fanning the

wire weed guard will make the jig even more weedless in

extreme heavy cover situations. Fan out the wire weed

guard where it covers the hook point in a wide path. This

will give you an extremely effective jig with a 130

percent hook set in extrmemly heavy cover.

C) Worm

inserts

Small

one-inch worm inserts are so valuable because of the

effectiveness in making the jig a more effective

bass-catching lure when the jig is teamed up with a pork

frog trailer.

This worm

insert also acts as an added attractor when used in

chartreuse and yellow colors and fills out the body of

the jig. The worm insert also holds the pork frog trailer

in the round bend of the jig's hook and keeps the pork

frog from riding up the jig's hook shank, which prevents

bad hook sets and lost fish.

D) Bending

up hooks

Probably

the easiest and most effective jig modification is

bending the jig's hook from the packaged, nine o'clock

position. This will give you a 100 percent hook set

directly into the upper part of the fish's mouth.

Good

fishing
