Fatheads are what are sold around here, both in the regular color and rosy reds if you go to a pet shop. From what the DNR people have told me, most of the baitfish sold in this part of Ohio are raised in ponds in Minnesota. We sometimes get a stickleback or madtom in the mix, which can be exciting when you stick your hand in the bucket.
The metallic finish minnow heads that Mike Simpson (Crappie Magic) sells look really good and have produced for us when paired with a small tube. It looks like a baby fish - all head; no body. He puts those realistic eyes on them too. Is that the type of jig head you're looking at? - Roberta
