Anyone ever use a Zero Gravity Jig? It has a drop rate of one foot every three seconds.




On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?

The answer is found in Jesus Christ who said "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Bought a few one time to try them out. Never did. Probably hidden under a mound of soft plastics somewhere in my garage...

My brother and I fish a large lake that averages 6 feet in depth across the entire lake. It also has lots of cypress trees. I thought that this type of jig would be good for it.

How does it drop so slowly? Is it a hollow head made of plastic?

Pretty sure it's something to that effect.

could be very good on finicky fish or brush pile fish in overcast days when they are sitting on top of them for sure. How bulky is the skirt? Looks more like a finnese jig than a typical structure skirt.

I've tried them. They have their time and place. Great for pressured situations and bed fishing!

I tried one many years ago and never caught anything with it. It had a little different shape but basically the same concept.

I've tried them and I continue to carry a few. Don't use them often but when bed-fishing or sometimes pitching to docks or laydowns they work great. They really do drop that slow and despite being so light weight they cast surprisingly well.

I've caught a lot of fish on a Hack Attack jig and it doesn't have eyes. I think Mr Hackney has won a little coin with them as well. grin

Yeah, I guess I'd go the other direction and say if it does have eyes on the jig head, I won't throw it. I've never seen a crawfish with eyes on its butt...

Why are they good for bed fishing? do the fish have a hard time only grabbing the tail (like they usually do) because its so light they just eat the whole thing?


Thats my money fish

I agree. I fish jigs a lot and in my opinion the weight of the jig and the trailer one chooses is much more important than whether it has eyes or not.

In my experience it's more about the fall rate. You pitch it, it falls real slow, they just can't stand it for some reason. It's almost like throwing a senko in there. Granted, you're only fishing in a few feet of water, but still, it works.
