bladesandbaits Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hello all. Been a while since I have posted. I first want to say hello and I hope this finds all of you well! I have a question . I was talking to an old friend the other day and he was asking me if I could make him a Jig that he was unable to find on the market. He called it a "wobble head" Jig. He described it as a lead molded on a hook shank and the lead profile was flat and wide and had a keel designed into the bottom of the body. I have searched and come up with nothing - and there,s no better placed to get an answer than here! He says its from back in the day and nothing new. I have searched and found several baits people are calling a "wobble head " but nothing comes close to his description. Any feedback is always appreciated. Regards, Blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkvnmtr Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The Buzz-keel buzzbait mold by Do-it has a keel. It would not be hard to come out of the front with a straight wire and make a loop to connect the line. It is the only thing I find with a keel.

Ogajiga Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Interesting design, since it seems like a keel would inhibit wobble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 When ever any one says wobble head this is the jig that comes to mind. You can find it at cabelas. hook sizes 4, 1, 1/0, 2/0 Head weight 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 hook styles 570, 575 The only problem is I have never seen it with a keel on the bottom of it. Did you ask him to draw a sketch of it? Maybe even give him some putty and make a big copy of it. If your at the lake have him grab some clay mud and mold it. But I do agree with hawnjigs I would think that a keel would fight the wobble. None the less I would love to see what comes up with this project. Good to see your post once again.

Salty's Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) If you said wobble head to me then a wobblehead lure to me is a keeled tin lure that you stretch an eelskin over. Like this: This is normally used in saltwater. Some versions have a fixed hook in them. Hello all. Been a while since I have posted. I first want to say hello and I hope this finds all of you well!
