But only 2 to a pack?

I don't lose them. Two to a pack is fine, they'll last quite a while with
the head design. They come through rocks, weeds and wood quite nicely.

The absolute best thing about them is that they make soft plastics --
especially heavily salted plastics that tend to shred to uselessness on
one fish -- last much, much longer. A regular T-rigged Ozmo for
instance, is typically a one or two fish bait. On the Title Shot head,
it's rare to get fewer than 4 or 5 fish on the dame bait, and I've gone
upwards of a dozen with a little creative re-rigging. But to go through
a whole weekend at Champlain with the same head tied on and only use 4
or 5 Ozmos all weekend is what I've come to expect with the Title Shot.
With a regular T-rig, it would've been a few hooks and sinkers, and 3 or
4 dozen Oz's.

I would say I use the 3/16 and 1/4 oz sizes most, fishing weed edges
with 10 or 12 pound fluoro. Typically with a 5" Ozmo. Less often with a
6" paddle tail style worm. (Producto Vibrator) Those are about the only
two baits I fish in typical T-rig fashion any more. If I fished other
stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to put it on the same head though. I know a
lot of guys though, who fish tubes on these heads as well. I'm not much
of a tube fisherman, so I couldn't tell you how well it works.

I'm still not 100% married to it for flipping in the 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz
sizes though. I think the mass of the head is too close to the point of
the hook with the bigger heads. I've missed or dropped a few fish with
the heavy heads on the big stick, and that's a few too many for my
taste. I use it, and I'll likely be swayed to use it more in the future,
as lead sinkers will be outlawed in my favorite fishing waters soon, but
not lead jig heads. Dave Wolak says that opening the hook just a nudge
eliminates the problem that I've noted, so I'll be sure to give that a
try once flippin season really comes into its own on Champlain. Oh,
wait. That's next trip. Hot damn!
