Interesting design to protect the line tie at the hook eye. This is one of the shortest jig hooks I've seen used.The jig head being the heaviest part of a jig falls downward through the water column with the line trailing behind on a vertical drop presentation like flipping or pitching into pockets. When a bass strikes this short shank hook jig the head will follow the line pull when you set the hook and pull the bullet shape out the basses mouth without hooking into tissue, unless the bass turns away from the line pull direction. The design relies on a wide gap hook in an effort to over come the problem. This good looking jig maybe just as fishless as it is weedless, if cast horizontally or the bass strikes it like like a crawdad falling vertically. Just my opinion.
