Several weeks back I recall seeing a reference to an "allen head jig". I have looked around an can't find the post or any other mention of an "allen head jig" - seems like it was an option for swimming a jig but I don't know what it is. Any one who can help?

Off of the Northstar website:

"Alien Heads are the king of wood cover, the recessed line tie protects the knot around abrasive cover, while the wide boxy sides help the jig head deflect off of cover without getting hungup, all this and your trailer stands up off the bottom in that defensive posture everyone is looking for. While the Alien head is king of the brush it can also pull double duty as a flipping jig around heavy weedcover!"

I didn't even notice that. Sorry if my post was not correct. Haven't heard of an allen head jig.

Almost posted this as well. Thought you might have misheard or mispelled by accident. I have never heard of an "allen" head, just an Alien head...

That is basically the only style jig head I use for jig fishing. I also get all of my jigs from North star, that is where I first learned of this jig head and I love it. I fish around a lot of timber and medium to medium heavy cover.

"BLUSH!!!" - no wonder I couldn't find it - LOL - Thanks guys
