jigs with relegated eyelets
i never figured out, why at some jigs the eyelet is relegated and not on the tip (front of head) of the jig head...
What are the advantages/differences of such an eyelet position? the eyelet angel of the hook itself is/are the same, as well as the jighead "style"... |

There are a lot of different angles available. Some jig meant for swimming or cranking have an almost inline eye or up to 28-30* eye to make them run straight. Most flipping style jigs are 60* eyes and a lot of tube jigs have 60 or 90* eyes. Also you can get inline eyes or eyes at a 90* angle with the hook. I think a lot of that has to do with getting the jig to come through rock or weed better.
Some jig have the eye molded into the head for further protection from hanging up: If you look around you can pretty much find any angle or position you can think of in jigs. |

thx Bender!
could it be, that it has something to do with the eyelet to line angel? i.e. if you are fishing from a boat or from shore? |
