You know me, a stickler for details ;). I will gently try and steer you back. This is not a worm on a light wire hook only. Otherwise I couldn't call it secret now could I ;).
Note the shape on the original slider head. It's flat. I know of no other jig head that is like it. I have tried lots of round head jigs with premium hooks trying to get away from the cheesy little crappie hook on the original slider. I even wrote the company asking if they would do a run with hooks that I would provide (owners) but no response :P. I know most of us like to do our own thing. That is a big part of the satisfaction of fishing IMO. But you who are new to the sport and a bit unsure of how to proceed I can promise you if you rig exactly like I suggest, practice and use the tie fast tool, use fresh 6lb line (nothing flourescent) and make sure your drag is set correctly (or practice backreeling) you and your inexperienced young ones will catch a boatload if the bass are less than 10' deep. As a side note for using this with kids. It is certainly lots safer to use this than any lures with treble hooks. Plus it is light and easy to fish with. If they stop reeling and look around from time to time that's good! Lastly the fish don't just strike it and let go, they will swim around with it for some time allowing time for the less experienced to say "hey, wait a minute!" ;D |
