Spoon Jigs & Plastics











A Lip for Soft Baits. Think of the Spoon Jig as a diving lip that makes a soft bait wiggle and roll like a lipped crankbait or plastic-lipped jerkbait. It's like a crankbait bill for soft baits, except snagless!
Aerodynamic. Streamlined shape makes for extra long distance casts, even against a stiff breeze.
Wire Brush Guard. Can be fine-tuned for the optimum hookset under any and all conditions. Has equivalent snag-resistance as standard fiber brush guard - except the wires can be precisely adjusted for the conditions at hand. In open water, bend brushguard down and out to the sides below the hook so the point is exposed.
Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Line Tie Eye. You may carefully bend the line tie eye up ro down in order to fine-tune the swimming action of whatever soft bait you're using. There's almost always a "sweet spot" where the angle of the line tie eye (bent up or bent down) will result in the most lifelike action.
Triple Cone Cut Keeper Collar. Each cone has 360 degrees of bait-gripping power, or 1,080 degrees of bait-grip in all. The amply spaced and ringed cones like those shown are the best of all ways to hold soft plastic baits securely. Even holds better than glue!




Flip It. Can be flipped or pitched into tight cover like any weedless jig except it wiggles enticingly on the way down as it is falling. Let it hit bottom, hop it a bit, then swim it out, wiggling its tail all the way.
Cast and Retrieve It. Can be fished shallow or deep, and attracts suspended bass in mid-depths. Comes through cover surprisingly swell! Equally at home in shallow cover or off deep points and ledges - or anywhere.
About the Wire Weed Guard. It can be fine-tuned for the optimum hookset under any and all conditions. The wire can be adjusted up or down and squeezed in or spread out. Can be fine-tuned for clean open water or for light, medium or heavy weed and snag defense.
In clean, open water with little or no weeds or bottom obstacles to snag on, bend both wires down and in to the sides so the wires sit below the hook point.
In weedier or snaggier conditions, adjust the wires up and fanned out more to the sides for more snag defense.
Keep in mind, the two-prong wires are often more helpful used as side deflectors (vee'd out to the sides) rather than straight up directly in front of the point.
In tough areas, it will surprise you how snag-resistant this jig head can be, wiggling its way through the snags.
Best of all, the wires really don't hamper the fish's strike. The wires do not interfere with your hookset.
How to Attach to Your Line. In thick or grassy cover, you may desire to tie directly to the heavy duty stainless steel line tie eye. The reason to tie direct is it's the most weedless way to avoid getting weeds or debris piled on the front. Or you may use a stout split ring and tie to the ring. Or use a reliable snap. It doesn't make much difference in terms of action or fish-catching ability. They're all good ways to tie your line to the Spoon Jig.
Fine-tuning the Swimming Action. You may carefully bend the line tie eye up or down in order to fine-tune the swimming action of whatever soft bait you're using. There's almost always a "sweet spot" where the angle of the line tie eye (bent up or bent down) will result in the most lifelike action with a particular bait.
Use Big Worms, Flukes, Slug-Gos, Senkos, etc. The Spoon Jig is ideal for any beefy worms or long-bodied soft baits over five inches long. You've seen Senkos shimmy and wiggle before, just never with an eel-like S-shaped swimming motion like this! Slug-Gos develop a fast-whipping tail motion like a frantic baitfish that bass can't resist. Many other long-bodied baits have enhanced swimming actions, which can be adjusted. with the Spoon Jig. You see, the line tie eye is stainless steel and also adjustable. So you can fine-tune the swimming action of any bait used on a Spoon Jig.

Spoon Jig makes any swimbait weedless in the heaviest cover and swimbaits will swagger and sway like wounded baitfish when you let them fall.
Many anglers also favor the spoon jigs for big hollow belly swimbaits, even though the protruding spoon looks a little odd in front of a swimbait body. However, if bass really cared about that, then you'd never catch another bass on a long-billed deep-diving crank, so don't worry about the spoon jig's bill either. What swimbait anglers love most is that the spoon jig gives a swimbait a flipping, flopping, swerving, side-to-side fall when it sinks and of course. it's snagless. So you can swim a swimbait in the heart of thick cover, right in the lunkers' dens. Then let it drop strategically right in fornt of a lunker's hidout. The spoon jig will make a swimbait flip, flop and swerve to the bottom like an injured big baitfish that's out of control. Well. it's more than any lunker can resist!
