It's a rig not a jig ~ Here's the rig, from the main line to the hook: -A Bobber Stop - A small bead to keep the stopper from slipping through the weight (not always needed) - A 1/2 oz tungsten weight - a Boss Punch Hub - this is placed inside the skirt collar - The skirt of your choice - A parasite clip (optional, but does help prevent the plastic from sliding down the hook) - A 5/0 Owner wide gap plus EWG hook (#5139 - very stout, I love this hook) - Your favorite soft plastic - pictured is a Power Bait Beast A-Jay

Working "up the drop" is one of my favorite & often very effective presentations; especially when the fish are really hunkered down on the bottom or favor a bait right on it. Instead of a standard "Jig", I use the rig pictured below. It excels in many situations and this one in particular; very weedless, seriously snag resistant and bass eat it eagerly. A-Jay

That's all well and good but a nice set of fake plates would throw a big monkey wrench into that plan. Taking pictures of a Driver's Lic might be good, unless that's fake too. Of course that never happens. And if the occupants of the vehicle that was struck were injured and not ambulatory or even trapped - the snapped heads would still just keep Taking pictures . . . . Sad. But I'm not bitter. A-Jay

"Quitter - Rig" ? Hate the term - implies the wrong frame of mind to me. If I'm on the water, I'm fishing. When I'm not locating bass that will bite, I'm still fishing. If it goes on too long, I'm eventually throwing a jig & craw. So if I happen to bump into one, it will probably be a good one. A-Jay

LOL ~ Might even be in the Hypnotize Slave category ~ A-Jay

It's not all bad - last fall my WM had the Mustad KVD Elite Trebles in a "Bargain Bin" for $1.99 - I cleaned them out. A-Jay
