If you could only have one

TW that is true and actually the lead does not go into the spring cavity at all on the smaller jigs. I have forgot the spring a time or two.

Ball head no collar would be mine. It is super versatile and can be used for tying or plastics. A slight smack with a light hammer and it becomes a pill head. Use another tool and it has an eye socket. I use them from 1/32 to 1/4 all the time.

I like the idea of the head with the collar and the barb, you can tie and it will hold plastics on. I'm just surprised so many like heads with nothing.

I like heads without collars because the collar wear tear up a small baits. I can always add bait keeper if needed.

So a callorless head that can use the wire form maybe good, could make with or without a keeper.

My favorite style from him.

That's a nice one ! It doesn't look clunky with that Chenille.... I like the sleek profile.

TLE, I have one and it throws a bit light at 1/43 with a #8 hook. Perfect for my 2lb rigs and hand ties fall just a sneeze slower.

If I had money one it would be a minnow head that throws one of each size. While it’s slower to pour the weights can be adjusted by trimming collars off. Like Grumpys mold, it gets a lot done. The spring collar wasn’t around when I bought most of mine but it’s a good mold, looking at his.

Yes and actually with any type of insert (bait keeper, swivel, screw lock, etc.). Simply pour without insert in and there will be minimal lead if any to clean up.

On my smaller jig heads I tie in a single staple on the hook shaft if I want a bait keeper. It works well.
