I mainly fish Strike King bitsy jigs with a trailer and I use 20lb fluorocarbon hoping the jig off the bottom and it doesn’t hang up very often... and catches a lot of bass...

Heavy rod action is better IMO and do not spread the weed guard, >>> Try my Viper XP Pro Jig. Almost never hangs up but has great hook ups. Or my Viper XP Jig. www.viperxplures.com

I have fished jigs for over 50 years and tried many of the marketed jigs. I finally started building my own jig and finally had CAST Ind. to do the mold. It has the Dome eyes with the BB under the dome for the rattle. This tunes it into a Semi - Football Jig. I don't know the last time I lost one in heavy cover. They are expensive at $12 a pop. We fish these in Mexico and they have out caught the other jigs that we have tested them against.

Those are some pretty jigs. I’m getting ready myself to tie a few up.

Well I’m glad to see I’m not the only jig fisherman on here! As stated I love fishing a jig! Just hit a bad run of getting hung up almost every cast. I have spent 38 years learning how to fish one! I thought maybe Strike king changed something. After reading all the post I think I’ll try a vertical eye hook, and a few different style heads just to see if I can figure out what is going on. Good stuff! Thanks everybody!

V & M swim jig is another good one that does not get hung up much.

Well went out yesterday and pitched a jig for a while. Caught two nice ones. Just under 4 lbs. only got snagged twice. Tried a horizontal line tie jig. Not sure if it was the reason or I just had a good day. Either way I had fun! Lol

Santone, Talon, V&M.... all 3 offer great products. Talon has the best customer service and most personable owners that I have ever met.
