Jig Head Styles - What Do You Use

minnow head

I use 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4oz jig heads depending on how I am fishing . Only use #1 and #2 eagle claw bronze hooks....Mainly use 1/16 oz and #1 hook and if i am fishing brush I will drop down to #2 hook. Everything with a round head..

1) Round head--- Generalist, good for everything
2) Minnow Head--- If you have current or wind action, it will swing faster to face the current.
3) pill head--- sort of a cross between 1 and 2. doesn't offer me any advantages, IMO. Easier for jigmaker to put eyes on them.
4) darterhead--- longer distance to hookeye, makes it easier to rock over limbs and such. Has a different action when it hits straight down vs others above (ie more pronounced)
5) ponyhead--- I rarely single pole these but the taller head helps keep the jig tail horizontal when trolled, ie it counteracts the lifting of the spoon.

Will these jigheads work will other plastics like the BG baby shad? I watched a video which showed the #10 worked with a Trout Magnet. What about the #8 and #6? where can they be purchased. Thank you.

They work with an assortment of microplastics....including the BG Baby shad. Unfortunately due to Covid no one has them in stock. I get several emails from my youtube channel every week of folks wanting to to buy more as they have used them and are out. I wish I could be of more help.

where can you get some good weedless jigheads. I dont care for the ones with numerous plastic pieces as the guard. I have used them cutting most of them off. I found some with a single wire strand that I really liked. Out and do not remember where I got them.

I have bought from Simply Crappie (bugman here at cdc) before and always had great service and product.

I use # 1 and # 5. I pour my own and usually in the ball head I only pour 1/16 and 1/32 oz heads with a # 2,4,or 6 hook.
basically the same thing with the pony heads except I do pour some heavier weights also and use a #1 hook to bass fish with.
