bob_G Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Codfish what makes you think you'll be able to fish the canal this year? I've already resigned myself to the fact that things may be different this year, and not for the better. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminDee Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I prefer the bullet head, I think it bounces off structure better instead of getting wedged. rbart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdowning Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Does the jighead choice have to be mutually exclusive? Both have their place. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clambellies Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Both style have different applications. One is better suited for bouncing the bottom, the other is better for swimming the water column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big fan of the savage style heads. Little more aerodynamic to get down on the bottom faster and also less effort to cut through the wind when you are trying to get more distance. Generic ones at M&Ds were awesome, hope the new owner continues to stock them.

One works well swimming and one works well bouncing the bottom However that does not mean you you can not do the same with either one.
