I've never actually tried bait on the top of these. Although it would be simple enough to put a small strip of the local favorite bait on the top, and just put a rubber band over it to hold it on.
The wire on these isn't for bait, it's strictly for appearance, and it ads just a bit of reflection to simulate fish scales.
These jigs fish quite shallow and are slow sinkers. I personally like using small jerks and retrieve it slowly.

Could you explain the best way to go about using this style of jig?
For example, should the fisherman attach a thin piece of fish to the top of the jig? What type of "bait" is best? Does the bait fall off easily? What is the best way to attach the bait?
