SI, I am in the same boat as you in general. I paid a lot of money (in my opinion!) for a pack of XLayers and 7g jigheads earlier this year and I'll I've caught so far is the bottom and in short order too!. So now I avoid fishing them as they just seem like snag-magnets to me, not fish catchers and yet others swear by them. Oh yeah - I've got Slug-Gos in different colours and sizes and never had a pull on them. What am I doing wrong as I catch bass on plugs in the same areas?
