Rigging Tips:
Here is how to rig soft plastic lures with narrow heads on Rockport Rattler jigs.  The example I'll use is one of my favorite soft plastics, - the split belly Salt Water Bass Assassin Plum/Chart.

I asked my 9 year old son, RexII, to be the one to show everyone how to do this simple riggin' tip.

First of all... you'll notice an imperfection - a small dimple or a small nipple on the head of most soft plastics:

Cut that and the part where it gets real narrow off which is ~ 1/16th - 1/8" off the head of your soft plastic:

You want a flat surface of your soft plastic to be FLUSH with the backside of the RR'er jighead.

Remember most soft plastic lures try to put a life like head on them or get real narrow because standard jigs are just lead on them and as such don’t look like a bait fish. So with a Rockport Rattler jig the realistic color and eyes actually give your soft plastic a jig head with eyes and color, so you don’t need the narrow part of your soft plastic lure, you just need to make your soft plastic flush with the RR’er jig’s head.

Then stick the point of your hook ~ 1/4 off the top of the SWBA or other type soft plastic:

Leaving the rest of the soft plastic to fit over the belly of the Rockport Rattler jigs rattling chamber:

And here's what the finished product looks like with a Rockport Rattler rigged with a Salt Water Bass Assassin:
