[cool]By request, I am posting a pic of some of my "hammerhead" jigs, including some with the rainbow materials I have been using successfully for the past year. I started hammering regular jig heads to flatten them, after finding that a flattened surface could be decorated with prism tape (like my perch urchins). I also discovered that a flattened head tended to wobble when retrieved and flutter when jigged vertically. Plain lead heads don't provide an action beyond what you give them with rod twitches.

I use the small jigs...size 8 through 4...for most of my fishing. I use them mostly as "bait bugs", with a piece of worm or fish meat. The larger models work well for largemouths, stripers, wipers and walleyes. They are also popular with a host of salt water species. They cast a mile and are great for burning through a school of inactive fish. They also troll well, with or without "sweetener" and/or in combo with crankbaits or plastics in a tandem rig.
