A wobble head is a type of fishing jig designed to be weedless, featuring a hook rigged to lay flat. It is used as a fishing lure.
The "wobble" in "wobble head" refers to the lure's action in the water, designed to attract fish. The weedless aspect is achieved by rigging the hook in a way that prevents it from snagging on underwater vegetation.
Here's a breakdown of its key features:
- Weedless Design: The hook point is often embedded back into the soft plastic bait, making it less likely to catch on weeds or other underwater obstructions.
- Hook Position: The hook is typically positioned to lay flat against the lure, further reducing snagging.
- Action: The head design imparts a wobbling or erratic action to the lure as it's retrieved, mimicking the movement of a wounded baitfish and attracting predatory fish.
- Versatility: Wobble head jigs can be used with a variety of soft plastic trailers, allowing anglers to customize the presentation to match the conditions and target species.
