Trimming the

wire weedguard down to one-eighth of an inch above the jigs hook point

is a modification that will pay off for angler in a few ways. By trimmintg

the wire weedguard down, the jig will stay weedless in most type of cover

and it doesn't hamper your hook set-sets, especially on bigger bass.

Fanning the

wire weedguad will make the jig even more weedless in extreme heavy cover

situations. Fan out the wire weedguard where it coers the hook point in

a wide path. This will give you an extremely effective jig with a 130

percent hook-set in extremely heavy cover.

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 atrractor 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 jigs' hook and keeps the pork frog

from riding up the jigs hook shank, which prevents bad hook-sets and lost

fish.

Probably the

easiest and most effective jig modification is bending the jigs' hook

from the packaged nine o'clock position to a 10 o'clock position. This

will give you a 100 percent hook-set directly into the upper part of the

fish's mouth.

Good fishing
