Two features answer the usual complaints about that style. The first is an up-point jig hook that turns into the roof of the mouth quickly, so fewer fish are thrown when a heavy head gives them something to shake against. The second is the two-stage keeper the \"Two-One\" name points at: two barbed steps on the collar that lock a fat worm in place instead of letting it slide down on the cast. Around those, the weight balance and eye position keep the head nose-up and shrugging off rock. The same double keeper makes it a natural base for a home-tied rubber jig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard football (egg) head that sits upright and crawls without rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp-point jig hook for fast hook-ups and fewer losses to head shaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-stage keeper that holds fat, bulky worms through repeated casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight balance and eye position tuned for snag resistance over rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish; four heads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sizes: #1 at 7 g, #1\/0 at 11 g, #2\/0 at 14 g, #3\/0 at 18 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat a bulky worm properly\u003c\/strong\u003e — Push the plastic straight over both keeper steps until the nose meets the head, with no gap and no twist.
