Tube Rigging Tip - Title SHot Jig

Post by JustinHoffman »

Hello All,

After reading a few questions recently about rigging tubes and the correct weight to use, (DropShot'r and High Noon), I thought I'd offer a tip on some easy rigging...

Use a Fin-tech Title SHot Jig!

Image

Due to the "outside" head design, line-twist (which can oftentimes become unbearable when working with tubes) becomes a thing of the past. The design of the head stands up on bottom - creating a better profile for your plastic.

And best of all - they can be rigged completely weedless, or hook exposed. The retainer system collapses when a fish strikes, leading to easy hook penetration.

And if that's not enough, there's no retying your line again when changing baits...

Rigged Weedless

Since the lure won't spin on the fall, using a lighter head than with traditional styles jigs often works best. A 3/16th oz or 1/4oz gets the nod most of the time for me..

Hope this brings a new dimension to you "tubers" out there... :lol:

Good Fishing,

Justin

I bought 2 packs of them at Bennetts Bait & Tackle a few weeks ago. Forgot all about them. I will try them out on Charleston tomorrow.
THANKS!!!

Bits and Baits, Bennets and Manotick Tackle all sell them...Paddletales might as well.

Hope this helps.

Good Fishing,

Title SHot Jig heads

Post by FireFox »

Hey Justin,

I can also confirm that the Tile SHots are a great jig head. I havent used them for tubes much (I guess I still like the spiral tube action by rigging the tube head inside with an airpocket) - but that are awesome for creature baits, craws, beavers, etc for flipping into the heavy stuff.

What I am most impressed by them is how much better of a hook up ratio Iu get with them over my older texas rig hook n weight.

My preference is still for the lighter ones (1/4 -3/8 oz) but I have had some success with the larger 3/4 oz version in the real heavy stuff.

Great points, Firefox!!!

Yep, the Title SHots excel for all plastic rigging applications - creature baits, worms, craws, lizards, etc.

And the heavier sizes are ideal for punching through heavy weed mats, slop, or pads...

With the new colours out this year, they can be matched up with any of your plastics for maximum appeal..

Nice to hear they are working well for you!!

Good Fishing,

Justin

Thanks Justin,

I am going to give them a try and I will report back on how I did with them. If this cures the line twist I get with tubes I owe you a cold one.

Thanks

The best jigs on thr market. Use the 1/4 oz for Yum craws in milfoil and 1/4 oz on tubes on deep weedline probing on Rice.
Great product!
