Features of the Pug Jig Head

The main distinctive feature lies in the shape of the head, which has a flat face similar to that of a bulldog (hence the name "Pug").

Vertical Posture: Thanks to its curvature and flat profile, it allows the lure to position itself almost vertically ("standing") when it touches the bottom.

Water Displacement: During a linear retrieve, the flat head moves a greater amount of water compared to standard jig heads, increasing the vibrations perceived by predators.

Stability: The shape helps the lure quickly regain its vertical position after each drop, making it ideal for the "grattamento" (bottom scratching) technique.
