Jigs, Shakey Heads or Both
Not sure whether to call these jigs or shakey heads with skirts. I have been making this thing for a little while now.
One of the problems I have with hitchhikers is getting the plastic started and centered on the screw. With this starter stud, that is no longer a problem.
Due to the hinged cork screw which has no resistance of its own and collapses when getting bit, I think that this set-up has less interference with a hook set than when using a weed guard, especially when running the hook through the bait and skin hooking it. I first started making these with the cork screw mounted solidly in the jig head but after catching a few fish the cork screw and starter stud got bent and mangled so badly that it was practically useless. So far with this set-up that has not happened. Hope you like it.
