I heard from a little wingshooter birdie to file down the top of very jig head, and it works!!!!!!!!

Do you mean the top of the shank of every jig head?

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.  ~John Buchan

Ken, I tend to file down all my larger lead heads down to the hook shank and sometimes a little on the sides too. With the top lead removed it leaves more plastic between the fishes teeth and the shank. IMO It makes the bait last a bit longer.
