- Jighead experiment leads to astonishing discovery!
When switching from one jighead to another, we often don’t think twice.
But that got us thinking, do all jigheads sink at the same rate?

The results were astonishing!

In a vaccum with objects, they fall at the same velocity. Fall Velocity equals sqrt of 2 x gravity x distance. Therefore, the shape of the object and viscosity of fluid determines the difference of fall rates.
We don't fish inside of a Hoover 😂
Except weight matters when you are encountering an opposing force
Totally true, as i noted in simple terms the shape and viscosity plays a part in the objects fall rate/ velocity. More specific, pushing against force of gravity is drag constants/ coefficients, density of fluid, the square area of the falling objects that is perpendicular to gravity forces. For example a jig head with the most of the mass in the head vs the hook, will have different perpendicular surface area profile vs a even mass distribution of an object. So with all these variables it is not surprising that a jig head with different mass, but similar profile could actually have a similar velocity at the bottom of the hot tub.
@@KGeezydad1 he also only tested things that were only like an 1/8th different in weight. Not really enough to see a big difference in that little water. Would be more interesting to test it in 15 feet
Thanks for the comment
Thx for this. Great info. I weighed out my different 1/8 jigs a few months back and was surprised at differences as you were. However didn’t do the sink rate test. I figured they would all be in the ballpark.
Thanks for watching!
Great experimental research. I'm surprised and enlightened. Thanks
Thanks!
Excellent educational video. Thanks Pat! Tight Lines.
Thanks!!
Wow, great experiment, learned something
I think the difference in weight, but similar fall rates can be explained by the difference in coatings and add ons like plastic eyes. The paint or powdercoat and plastic eyes are similar in density and not much greater than water. The hook and lead, being much denser than water, are what determine fall rate.
I was dismayed the other day when I weighed a bunch of my z-man red fish and Striper eye jig heads discovering that they were all significantly lighter than their stated weights. Other brands like Mustad we’re precisely their advertised weights. Is this a known flaw of Zman jig heads? The difference might not matter on sink rates but casting distance is another story.
It isn't just exclusive to Z-Man
Paddle tails will fall vertically because of the resistance of the tail. The paddletail causes resistance while the nose of the lure is more streamlined.
Exactly the tail acts like a parachute, thus where the weight is (head or belly) makes no difference., it always falls tail up which forces the nose down.
Thanks for watching!
Perhaps the weight difference makes a greater difference in the thin medium of air during a cast, not so much through water. Good study. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I look forward to next school year's curriculum then. Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching!
excellent
Thank you!
Great info. Try it with the blue water candy pencil weight hook,
It’s a game changer! The sink rate is perfect!
Cool!
The only question I would ask is, if you added current, would that affect the drop speed rate
Is your hot tub saltwater? Wouldn't that affect buoyancy?
Saltwater vs freshwater will have slightly differing results; however, as long as the constant is unchanged for testing purposes, the results won't be necessarily affected.
^^^^
One factor that was left out is the extra buoyancy that salt water would give the soft plastic.
It's still an equal playing field
^^^
I like watching your stuff!
Thanks for your support!
Great ideas !
Thanks!
Gravity. Only difference is water resistance on the plastic.
Good call
Does a 1/4oz fall any faster than a 1/8 oz jighead in still water? I am not sure it would.
It should!
Yes
Looking at real bait fish, that move more horizontal saw 90 percent of the time
When fishing during periods when the predator fish aren't active enough to chase down a healthy baitfish, it's important to be able to give the lures a more variable retrieve to mimic an injured baitfish which will go both up and down as well as left to right.
I would say the design of the hoss helix is no good. The weight is too far forward.
The reason for the weight placement being in a forward on the Helix hooks is to allow for the lure to more easily get down to the bottom where most of the strikes happen.
