four flat side grub

You'd be surprised at all the design's I've  come up with in the last year - all unnatural - that catch all fish species in a lake.

Now that is an ugly but effective bait keeper.  I like it. 

 

Agree Bob, ugly and effective.

Could also have an additional keeper on the other side to double your fun.

Keeper? as in wire attached to jig head?

Yes you have a great idea there.

 I thought another one coming in from the other side would make it 2x's as strong.

I use 24 g coated wire and it never comes undone for up to two dozen fish.  If the lure is long enough , I bite off a bit off the front of the lure and re-rig it once it starts to split from that many strikes and good for a  another dozen or more fish. Too heavy or two thin a gauge doesn't do as well and uncoated wire rusts.

Sometimes I bend the wire more towards the front of the lure rather than straight across if I've cu the wire a bit to short.  Jig collars do more damage than fish and I cut them off if I can't order a certain jig size collarless.

As you can see, I wouldn't use jigs (even skirted jigs) without the grub/ trailer lock. Note the arrow pointing to the trailer lock that can be as long or as short as you make it.
