Overview
Designed for anglers targeting finicky fish, the VMC Finesse Rugby Jig provides bite-sized attraction that excels when the bite gets tough. Molded around a wide-gap hook, the VMC Finesse Rugby Jig features a recessed 90-degree line-tie, which increases weedlessness and permits anglers to explore rocky terrain with ease.
Ideal for shakey-heading, the VMC Finesse Rugby Jig imparts a subtle side-to-side rolling action as it is hopped along the lake floor. Finished with a three-degree offset hook point for improved hook-up ratio, the VMC Finesse Rugby Jig delivers downsized performance that is perfect for picky eaters.

Perfect jig for swimbaitsThere is no better jig head for swimbaits than these jig heads. I use the 1/8-ounce finesse and regular rugby head to rig my swimbaits. These Rugby heads give the swimbait a natural rocking motion side to side and allow good tail waging motion.
works well with all kinds of plasticIn the past I had trouble using Z-man plastic on normal shaky head including screw type. There is no problem with this style of hook. It would be nice if it was available in white.

Comments: This jig is incredibly valuable when fishing a river from smallmouth. I'm surprised there aren't many varieties of these from other tackle manufacturers. 3/16 and 1/4 are so clutch with a tube body, twister tail or hula grub dropped to the bottom and dragged back if the smallies aren't taking jerkbaits. These work perfectly for that technique and there aren't a whole lot of other options for that.

Comments: Years ago after trying the original rugby head I immediately wished they had a 1/16 and it wasn't long before it came out. If yourbank fishing a new spot and are unsure whats under the water, throw one of these on. Very weedless and rarely get wedged between rocks. I think you can rig any plastic on these and catch fish. Great all around shakey head, give em a try.
