Pt. Jude Wobble Heads..

I love them. Put a Ronz Sandeel on there and the action is deadly. Does anyone know if Pt. Jude makes heavier wobble heads to get down deeper? Once that tide picks up it just doesn't seem to stay down. Also what is the difference wth the 2 line loops on them? The one up front and the one that is a little farther back?

joe makes 2 sizes. the rear loop is for attaching your stinger hook. For soft plastics i do not use it, but instead do a few half hitches around the base of the wobblehead's hook and then glue it all inplace inside the rubber. I found that when i used that loop, my plastics would tear easily.

There's actually one more in addition to the 3/4 and 1.5 ounce, the 2 1/4 ounce version with a swing hook.

We've got them in the store for some of our kayak guys, but we never put them on the web. I'll try and put it up in the next few days. If you need them feel free to give us a call.

I`ve probably got the only ones in the world. After 2 yrs of pleading with Joe to make them in white he did a limited number for me. They work great days. He needs to make a pretty good number to make it economically feasable but if enough interest were shown I`m sure we could entice him to give it consideration. Tip them with pink or white rubber and you`ve got a bass magnet.

Although I didn't catch anything on the wobblehead I did throw it last week when the kids were swimming at the beach and yes omg what action when there is a dead eel on the back, the big grub is great too. I was thinking of putting a long tube on the back, even longer than they sell. I'd like to see an even bigger size for trolling off the boat deep with tubes, like a 3 to 4 oz.

I was getting alot of short hits the other night on the eel.Ten lbers grabbing the tail..I switched to the black wobble head an got a few of them short strikers on it.
Nothing big but the hits where jarring.U got to love that..
It's a nice tool to have when ur eeling.I just trow it right in there with the eels...

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

If the wobblehead was a little heavier like a 3 or 4 oz, I would see no reason to use any other type of jighead in the canal ever again. The thing is awesome. Was at the canal the other night and I was the only one catching with the wobblehead and the Ronz while the guys next to me were using the typical jighead with sluggos. As you guys know, once that currents starts ripping its hard to keep it on the bottom or even close to it. Thats the only downfall I think if someone wants heavier weight. I was thinking if I were to use a rubber slip on weight a few inches above the wobblehead or put the sluggo weight inserts, would it take away from the action?
