You'll get no argument from us, VMC®'s new Swinging Rugby Jig is
the next big thing. We're not sure, however, if Mike Iaconelli has made up his
mind .. er, minds?
In VMC newest commercial featuring Iaconelli, the colorful bass pro reunites
with his comical alter-ego, Ike's Head, a wise-cracking, disembodied twin head
that lives in a tackle bag. In this installment of the commercial series,
Iaconelli and Ike's Head almost get into a scrum debating who's more of an
expert on VMC's new Swinging Rugby Jig.
"Instead of being fused to the hook and static, the Swinging Rugby Jig's
head is attached to the hook eye by what looks like, essentially, a second line
tie," Ike explains. "That creates a hinge effect that allows my bait
to swing and bounce and carom erratically as I drag, hop or twitch it around
cover, be it rocks, docks, weeds or wood."
Looking like a cross between a traditional round-ball-head jig and a
football-head jig, the Swinging Rugby Jig's head features a recessed line tie,
which helps it come through cover much better than other jigs.
"A major problem with normal jig heads is you've got a line tie that
sticks out and catches weeds, and your knot's not protected," Ike
explains.
Swinging Rugby Jigs are available in black, brown and green-pumpkin, in five
sizes, each of which come two per pack: 1/4 ounce (3/0 hook); 5/16 ounce (4/0
hook); 3/8 ounce (4/0 hook); 1/2 ounce (5/0 hook) and 3/4 ounce. (5/0 hook).
What about that extra-long Z-Bend hook that Ike's head mentioned?
"It ensures that soft plastics rigged on a Swinging Rugby Jig won't hinder
its unique action," Ike explains.
