Specialty bucktails

Mike H, how do you like using the bucktails with the line loop at the front of the jig instead of the top like your typical spro? Does this help prevent snags? Do you catch as many fish using this style jig? Thanks.

I mostly use the forward eylette jig when there's a fast drift. In my opinion it has a more natural fish like presentation when the drift is fast and Line is scoped since its being pulled from the front. I have only used them part of last year and this year and they seem to catch pretty good so far. As far as snags go I feel like you'll always get snagged more when going over rough stuff with a scoped line. I don't know that they would be better or worse than spros for snags
