A couple of suggestions. If you're going to troll the jig, try this. When you pour the head, put a swivel in the back loop first, then use a stainless hook and crimp it to the swivel. Second, although steelhead will cringe, you can buy bulk rubber (or nylon) at places like Stamina which can be put on with bands (they sell a small stretching tool to do it) in a reverse "parachute" fashion which gives the jig a fatter bunker/squid profile and keeps it higher on retrieve. Plugs are great, but when it comes to catching fish, only live bait trumps a jig.
