I would think on something like that you wouldn't want action.....just slowly jig it along the bottom.

maybe even slice 1/2 way through it around the tail and put the hook/weight in the body....that way when you speed it up the tail would flip underneath like its trying to get away.

That's the benefit of the Wobblehead by PT Jude. You can work it at any pace in any manner you chose fit and vary the retrieve until you find something that works. jig it - retrieve it - pause ... options are endless.

I'd think a football head would work well with this. Maybe 3/4 of an once or so. I'd fish it like the smallmouth guys--lift and then let the jig rest on the bottom. The jig head would have to be an upright head, so that when the jig is at rest the hook isn't laid over on its side. I've often dreamed of this method in the rocks for stripers. Sure, there'd be heavy donations, but I couldn't think of a more fun way to hook a big bass.
