I know a lot of people have good luck using weedless jig heads and they prefer them. Personally I have used them after trimming and before but missed a lot of bites. Guess it's a personal preference. I like the drop shot because I can work the weight down through the brush without hanging the jigs up and then usually can pick it straight up without losing them. Kinda what we had to do yesterday get the jigs down in the brush to get bites.
