Default 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.!
