I was hoping for peoples opinions re articulated jigheads. Boring subject I know, but its an area of SP fishing I don't really get.
I have used various types of standard fixed jigheads now, as well as cone weights, weighted hooks, hitchhikers etc. I have obtained through various drunken spending spree's, a number of different articulated heads. These are mainly in the larger sizes, ie 12g+. I still haven't used them though!
I rigged a couple of Giant Xlayers on them the other day, mounting the xlayer on a standard 4/0 Varivas Big Mouth hook, then clipping to the head. It looks funny. I will be giving it a go on deeper marks with more tide, but my question is who uses articulated, and why would you choose one over standard fixed? Is it purely so you can change weight more quickly?
I look forward to your responses.
