mark poulson Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 KVD mentioned that Mustad was coming out with a swing jig head that allowed changing hooks easily. Has anyone seen them yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Mark, That is the first time I have heard of this. JMO, but if that is the case, I believe it will be some kind of snap, and if so it will make the connection weaker and/or cause more debris to catch on it. Only time will tell once it is released. Do you have any pics of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Ted, I saw KVD on TV about a month ago, and he mentioned them. I think it was during an infomercial for a rage something-or-other. I looked for the link, but couldn't find it. I think it must have a wire twist like the Mustad Fastach Clip: http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mustad_KVD_Fastach_Clip_12pk/descpage-KVFC.html Edited July 4, 2014 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 KVD was using it along with the Rage Bug at Table Rock Lake, they say the swing jig like the Biffle Hard Head are great when it is flat calm. That said, yes, Mark is correct, it is the Mustad Fastach and it is nice because it allows quick change of hook sizes but I don't like it and for different reasons. When I use a swing jig I'm using a certain size head and plastic combination, I have yet to use a larger plastic on a smaller head or a smaller plastic on a larger head. While it is more versatile it also has a weak area which Cadman alluded to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 While I don't fish bass and dont see myself using these Biffle style heads I can see the merit in using the fastach clips on swing hook jigs. I do have a few molds with the free swinging hook option for my saltwater jigs. I wonder if the fastach will fit in the Do-it mold? Just another option I guess especially for those of us who make our own tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have fished some swing jigs with a changeable hook clip, and they do seem to collect more crud in the wire connection. But I do like being able to change the hooks, to keep them sharp, and to be able to put the hook point where I want it when I change trailers.

ROWINGADUBAY Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I have been using the fastach clips on my main line for walleyes probably went trough a hundred or so already and never had a failure I even use them on my musky leaders best snap out there.

Jighead61 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've been waiting for someone to release a swing jig head that allows changing hooks without the use of a split ring. The Mustad sounds promising and I look forward fo trying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
