Weedless (snag-free) Jigs
 
Does anyone know of a weedless (snag-free) jig for saltwater? Something that doesn't have a tendancy to get hung-up on the bottom. (There seem to be many types available for freshwater.)

Only problem I see is that it is usually the lead head that wedges between some rocks causing the hang ups. Anything heavy enough to act as a wire on the hook would probably open and have no effect on anything over 3/4 oz or so. (most of my jigging is done with 3 oz and up)

May be a cool idea though for smaller jigs though.

bullet head steel pegged with toothpick and texas rig some fat black or white rubber worms.... I`ve also had very good success with jig and pig type heads with weed guards but use rubber worms for trailer.

The guys in the Bay have been using a jig they call a banana jig which has a shovel shaped jig head, almost like those smaller redfish jigs you'd see in Offshore Angler catalogs that weigh a half-ounce, but these are heavy, for jigging on the bottom.

Go to this site, ask Dan about them, he either makes them or is a dealer, either way he can get you some to try out, they work very well.
