ABSTRACT:
A lead head jig constructed to shelter a multi-filament lure dressing and a fish line attachment. A variety of ellipsoid head configurations are disclosed which include a lateral channel that shelters a hook eye recessed into the head at the channel. The eye is variously positioned relative to a center vertical axis through the center of the head, e.g. rotated forward and at the vertical axis. The eye position and head shape cause the lure to roll and raise a barbed end of the hook as the lure is retrieved. A recess is concentrically aligned to a hook shank which lies along a horizontal plane at the center of the head and receives a multi-filament skirt. In alternative tapered head jig configurations, which also include recessed skirt cavities, the hook eye is recessed into a snout of the head. A concave surface extends below the eye to permit a rolling retrieve. A ridge is also formed aft of the eye in one tapered head construction. A weed guard projects to protect the hook barb. A ball head jig having a recessed hook eye, recessed skirt and adhesive bound attractant eyes is also disclosed.
