Overview
VMC updated its popular Rugby Jig design with an articulated, free-swinging jig head that allows soft-plastic baits to flow and move more naturally on the retrieve. A cross between a traditional round-ball head jig and a football head jig, the VMC Swinging Rugby Head features a recessed line tie, which helps it come through cover much better than other jigs. It’s extra long z-bend, wide gap hook ensures soft plastics will not hinder action when rigged, and its offset point helps you hook more fish. Available in a range of colors, the VMC Swinging Rugby Head takes the Rugby Head design to the next level.

Comments: Awesome on rocks and in a variety of different covers. Use the right line and slightly open the gap. The only downside to this bait is the line tie gets coated with the paint which is gritty. Have had some issues with that on the hook set. Clean the line tie before using it and you'll be good to go. Wish they would take care of that in production.

Comments: This Swinging Rugby Head is awesome. I pair this with a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper and it works. Let the good times roll. This jig allows you to fish all levels of the water column to catch fish. Awesome!!

Comments: A VMC Swinging Rugby Head with a Zman Fattyz is deadly. This combo consistently catches big bass in numerous environments.

Comments: Love this thing! First time I threw one, boom! 6 pounder! They hold the bait right, the head design comes through and over rocks extremely well and they're very durable and the hooks are mean on these things! Will buy more for sure!

Comments: Bought a couple of the Swinging Rugby heads cause my they were out of my favorite Shaky head Jig. Fishing it with a Standard Brush Hog and the big Bass cant resist it. Perfect match for a Brush Hog

Comments: Get ready swimbait fishermen for the VMC swinging rugby head! This jig will allow soft plastics to be thrown all day with very little wear. VMC longneck hooks provide no slippage and excellent holding power. This is not the average football jig, it's something special!
