bottoms up jig is a no go

Jig it, spin it, buzz it, if it's got a wire or a lead head, it can and will be discussed in here.

Oh ... they look like they could be great for my (power) BFS setup.
Is the total weight of the jig accurate, or is it like a 1/8oz weight head + the weight of skirt + the weight of the hook? Also, what size is the hook? And would you consider it a light wire or normal wire?

I couldn't find much information on 'em. Thanks for introducing me to Bottoms Ups, haha.

I had the Gap Jig and I should’ve been more specific
I didn’t weigh them just sending them back. I brought a good few

I hear ya. I'll try them out to see if it's for me. Looking for an alternative to the Keitech Model II.

You know, I had to put this to paper. I haven't fished the jig I jut got it and I love the components but I think the hook should have been longer. So I say let me measure against my kietechs bass union little creeper and another jig. just to see
I will fish the Gap Jig, the issue is finding a trailer , but i got the 3/8's cause I m fishing this in 15-20 of water and I dont want to wait forever. I just may try it like a ned head rig.. we shall see .. anyways here are some pictures cause i have chores to do..
kinda got distracted thinking about this..lol

I've found that stroking a small jig like this in fall and winter will get you bites but the line size probably should be light braid or braid leader.. I had a fish take it and bend the rod over the gunnel before breaking me off..
