Increase Your Success With Jig X

Who would have thought that you could improve the design of a jig? Bass fishermen and women are always looking for an edge. Often, it is those small details through the course of a day on the water that make the difference between a big fish and the one that got away. It is not only the details of the environment, but the small details of your tackle are just as important. Vertical Lures has designed a jig full of characteristics that will have you catching more fish.

The obvious difference between this jig and other jigs is the head design. Most of the time, bass are either in or around cover such as rocks and wood. When you are using sound equipment, the weakest link between you and a fish is most often the knot. With the knot out in front of the bait, the first part of the bait to slide across the cover is the knot. This abrasion will weaken a knot, causing a break off and loosing a big fish, not to mention loosing a jig. The Jig X knot tie is fixed behind the head to protect the knot and to prevent weeds and scum from catching on the head of the bait.

Another strong feature of the Jig X is the ultra sharp 7/0 Mustad hook. This hook is very strong and will not bend under the load of a heavy fish using super lines such as braid. This same hook is even on the finesse size 1/4 ounce. Next is the Chunk X trailer. With other bulkier jig trailers, you get a loss of hook gap when you slide the trailer up the hook shank. This means you will not always get hook penetration as you set the hook. Not with the Chunk X, it has been molded to the angle of the hook, leaving an unobstructed path for the weed guard. The legs of the trailer have horizontal ridges that give different actions according to the retrieve speed you are imparting to the lure.

Have you ever made a perfect skip under a dock or overhang with your choice jig only to find out your trailer slid down the hook? When was the last time you set the hook on a fish and your trailer was gone? Vertical Lures has designed the Sling, which keeps your trailer secure to the hook shank until you decide to remove it.

All of these features add up to a lure that catches more fish. Tournament fishermen need an edge to win. Using the Jig X, you will hook more bass and get hung up less. You will have no more wasted casts and you can concentrate on the details of the bass instead of the details in your equipment. Vertical Lures will be adding a new product to their line called the Football Style Jig X, available for purchase on August 1, 2007.
