Default Best Jig Head

What is the best jig head to use? I am using h&h and missed a bunch today and had many come off right at the boat.

Does anyone else have a better way to rig soft plastics, gulp shrimp, Sand Eel

I really believe that if you try Yellowmouth Jigheads one time, you will never use another jighead. The Mustad hooks are sharp and strong and the 3 ring design really holds plastics on well.

Do yourself a favor and just buy one pack of yellowmouth jigheads. You will not turn back. They hold your plastic on like no other head and the hooks are sharp and will not straighten out. my buddy found some jigheads built like yellow mouth at academy but, I rather pay an extra dollar and support a louisiana company!!!!

I'd rather pay extra for yellowmouths knowing that I'll save on the amount of plastics used. Can usually get 25 fish on one plastic vs. the 5ish on other jig heads I've tried in the past before they no longer stay put.

a lot of good answers on here. hook choice is probably the most crucial. hook needs to be strong and durable. still needs to hold a point after you've stuck that 40-50th trout or red of the day as well the countless times it was drug over rocks or oysters. Second factor is bait holding ability. Some people may like changing baits numerous times a day while others want that bait to last through todays limits and maybe even tomorrows. Lots if time, testing, throwing, talking, torturing, tying, re-tying, re-tying and planning went into putting the yellowmouth jigheads on the market for everyone to enjoy. We try to give anglers the best product for their hard earned dollar because thats what we would want. Give em a try if you haven't and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

As always, thanks for the support guys.

Josh
