The Bass Patrol Deflection Jig features a free-moving, pivoting, swiveling 4/0 VMC hook attachment to the football head, which allows the bait to ‘deflect’ in random directions as it bumps into any available structure. Similar to fishing a crankbait, the most common time to get bit is during these deflections. They were designed for covering lots of water in a shorter period of time. Large flats with scattered rock would be one example of where to use this lure and technique. Make a long cast and start reeling slow enough to keep in contact with the bottom, but fast enough to keep the bait moving. You’ll notice the Bass Patrol Defection Jig is also equipped with a recessed line tie to help protect the knot area from abrasion. Available in several colors, Bass Patrol recommends rigging the Deflection Jig with your favorite creature or beaver-style bait.
