Jig Heads?!?
 

Im looking for some jig heads to buy in bulk. I have been using and really like the Norton Shad Head unpainted jig heads but they tear my bait up after 4 fish or so the head of the bait gets cut and is no mo good, and you cant order them in bulk.

Thanks!!

Check with marshworks.. dude they have some bad to the bone jig heads. Fished with em the other day in the 1/8th oz. Style and caught 25 trout and changed baits once. They can keep a nice hold

looking now thanks fool

you talking about these?

By far superior to others. They have a redfish jig head that all I can say is a nasty mofo.

That Bull Red one dosent seem like they will hold your bait to well these could work though. Im gonna give them a shot

Go see Obie in sulphur

X2. He can hook you up with some good jig heads and told me they carry this brush on glue...coat jig head and push bait on...super glue on steriods. He said a jerk jr will last a long time.

You talkin bout those Jenny Jig Heads? i dont like them to much seem heavier than what they say they are

Ill take some of that . . . .

you should guess weights at the carnival if you can feel the difference in hundredths of an ounce...

I am using some that I got from the Tackle Bos. It has 3 rings on it and holds the bait very well

Red hooks?

Sent from my EVO

If you're looking for unpainted in bulk, go to Cajun Fast Mart in Carlyss.

Not red hook, but I am fairly certain they did have them in red.

Take an 1/8oz Jenny jig and a 1/4oz norton tell me that the 1/8oz Jenny dosent look or feel like the same

we have the ring-shank jigheads in bulk 25 and 50 packs at the tackle box in sulphur.. they hold baits like jerk jr's and gulp so much better because the lead doesn't have a sharp point, that sharp point on other jigheads just rips the back out of a bait when the fish grabs the bait and you pull forward.

shaw, if you don't like the ones we have, try the gene larew high tide series.. they have a similar ring-shank design and a sharp, strong hook. ;)

I'm going to bring my meter to work tomorrow.. I'll tell you to the thousandth what they weigh. :grinpimp:

I really never under stood the purpose of colored or fancy jig heads....Not cutting one from another but

I use basic 3/0 1/4 Gamakatsu jig head............and 2/0 1/8
Been using them for 25 years

I buy them bulk for about 44 per 100.....

But If Im just targeting reds I will use Marshworks or Micahs hooks

Thanks for the info fellas!
W were do you order them from?

OB I'm gonna hit you up when I get home from work

ill Pm it to ya

10-Fo thanks chief

Pm me the info to get micahs jig heads cuz I don't think he really sells them.

those are geaux outdoors ring-shank jig heads i'm talkin about at the tackle box.. just got a fresh shipment in friday.

we also have cheap single barb jigheads in bulk.

Just PM Micah I am waiting on him to get another batch done I think he was running low last time I talked to him

Been there guess the new batch isn't done yet.

Heres why I switched to MarshWorks jig heads in the first place.. Before, I was a gamakatsu man. Yes, they are very sharp, do they hold up? No. I've broken countless #'s of them on bigger fish, right at the bend of the shank.

I've yet to break a MarshWorks. Just sayin'.

You are not big enough to break a hook

You don't have the hook set to even break a knot, little one.

I agree with the marshworks redfish jigs, they are awesome I've bought a few packs of them and they held up very good against every fish i've caught on them, I have bought .25 cent jigs at bowie out fitters in baton rouge that weight 3/8oz I bought 40 of them for $10.00 3 years ago and I only have a couple left from bringing my buddies fishing, this fall I'll probably be buying more since I probably won't be going saltwater fishing till I get a new motor.

I bought 100 from micah,very nice jigheads. Need some 3/8 though....

1/16th and 3/8th molds are next in the queue…Hoping to have them out soon

Cool deal!

Sent from my EVO

1/16oz will be nice

Along with a 16 oz bowl of ramen with some la hot sauce on it!

Werd!

I agree that those points are too much trouble.
I take some wire cutters and cut those points off any of the jigheads that I think would tear up a bait leaving just enough to hold the bait on. I bought some of those unpainted Norton's on clearance and cut the points off every one of them. The H&H unpainted jigheads are just about as good as any to use too. They've held up just fine for me for many moons.

Why not cut/trim the metal barbs with some cutting pliers? This will definately save your plastics longer... at least until you get your new lead heads.

Sweet,let me know when you get em I will buy some 3/8 from you. They really hold on the plastics well.

I ended up just grabbing a big bag of Micahs 1/8oz headz, we shall see how good they be!

I like em....caught some bull reds on em and they handled it fine.

Thanks for the kind words - we are running Premium Mustad Ultrapoints on all of our jig heads which are the best you can get without breaking the bank.

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?

I started super gluin my gulps on. Works good.

Gonna move to a 4/0 on those...

Need 1/4 and 1/8 with 4/0 hooks.

For anyone interested...
 

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.

These are the jigheads I make
