New Bass Tackle 2008 - The Stand Up Jig.
2008 is sure to offer bass anglers a selection of hot new lures and equipment to think about. I have been testing one of Parasite Weights new products for 2008, it’s called the StandUp Jig, and boy, it does just that. (shown below)
This new jig head from Parasite is really unique in the fact, it doesn’t require the smooth soft bottom other competetors standup jigs often need to stand properly. This jig is actually like a weeble wooble, it can wobble around and still somehow manages to stand up putting your bait into the strike zone, instead of lying on its side like most do.
Another key feature of the Parasite StandUp Jig is the line tie, or lack of, for a better word. When using this jig, the angler will first thread their line down through the first hole in the front. Then along a groove in the bottom of the jig and up through the second hole in the rear of the jig. From there, you tie on the included split ring and slide that over your hook, All Done and ready to fish a stand up jig head that delivers.
The new Parasite StandUp Jig is now available online and soon to be at a store near you, keep your eyes peeled for it. Made in the USA with only quality components.
You can order online today at ParasiteWeights.

That is a great question Chuck.
From what I notice during testing of this jig head, even though the line runs through the fron, the tug or pull does come from the center of the jig.
Imagine this if you will, the slightest movement moves the bait across the bottom in a standing position. A harder twitch will pull from the back to center, actually pulling the nose upward and the body or bait slightly backwards before standing up again.
Looks Like you should be able to catch a few on this! Tying it on is different, will the line be pulling from the middle of the jig?
