Casting a floppy hook jig will oftentimes cause the hook to hang up on the line above the jig head. One has to be careful how you cast. A quick cast, which adds distance to smaller jigs, tends to result in more hang ups while a smooth swing type cast, which helps prevent this, is better for heavy jigs. Hopping, lifting, and other actions I put on the jig also seemed to increase the chances of getting the hook over the mainline. A steady swim was really the only way I retrieved the ones I tried. I gave up the floppy hook jigs as a swirling hook was a pain to cast as I use 1/8th oz most and they seemed to hang up much more than the standard jig. I think that was due to the hook point location being random instead of up where I could crawl the jig over rocks, wood, and other obstacles using the line. If I were to try it again, I would use bullet weight pinned onto the line above a barrel swivel and the hook which would probably be cheaper than buying or making swivel jig heads. Either way, good luck. Catch a bunch!
