The 1/16th and 3/8 shouldn't be far away and then we have some new stuff in the works.
Good to hear!!

Will the 3/8 have a 3/0 hook?

After a bit of conjecture about the weight of certain leadheads, I decided to weigh 7 popular lead jigheads, that are all marked 1/8oz. on the label, and report the definitive results... here they are:

As we all know, 1/8oz. = .125oz./3.54g., 3/16oz = .187oz./5.31, 1/4oz. = .250oz./7.08g.

Our most popular jighead, the generic ball-jighead was closest to 1/8oz, weighing in at .14oz./3.9g.

In a distant second place and more than a full gram heavier, is the Strike King flats jighead weighing in at .17oz./5.0g.

Coming in third is the Gene Larew High Tide jighead at .18oz./5.3g.

In a tie for fourth are Yellowmouth Baits and Norton's... both weighing in at just over 3/16th of an ounce or .19oz/5.4g.

Fifth place goes to the Shrimphead jighead with a weight of .20oz./5.9g.

And finally, the heaviest jighead weighed was the Bass/Salt Assassin jighead. Weighing in at just .02oz. shy of 1/4oz.. .23oz/6.6g.!

That'll shut em up...for a minute

Thanks for the info,just looking at the assassin jig more like a 1/4 oz

One thing I dont like about those jigheads is that they are too short..the hooks. I started making my own with a eagle claw 630-2/0. They work great due to the longer hook . I just modified my jighead mold to make em. I dont loose tails or ends of my bait cause instead of the fish rippin off the tail it now gets hooked. I will post a pic of them later. I just made 175 this afternoon in 1/8 and 1/4 ounce. They hold up to reds also. Caught a bunch of 30-36 inch bulls on em already.

Our new 1/16th oz and 3/8oz will be on the money...

When will we see those? :)

I have been throwing the Marsh Works for a couple years and they hold up great. They use the Mustad Ultra Points so you are not getting a cheap jig head.

Mike looks like you have some nice stuff there. Can you get a discontinued h&h irish gold minnow??? I look for em everywhere to see if anyone has some backstock I can buy.

OB and the TackleBox would be your best bet to try for that. We are just concentrating on jig heads and our own stuff for the time being.
