Worm head screw lock

[evo2s197]

I'm looking for someone that makes a worm head style jig with a screw lock like the style I attached, but it needs to be 3/0 or 2/0, I've found a few companies that have 4/0, but I'm not interested in those.

Thanks for the recommendation, I know about those, my attached picture is a totally different head and line tie.

Frenzy. Not a screw head though.

Check out Mega Strike, but they are Shakey Heads

Thanks for the suggestions. I have myriads of shaky heads from lead to tungsten, been fishing them for years, I'm looking for a smaller 3/0 to 2/0 version of the style in the attached image, that fit a 4.5 roboworm and bottom hopper better that a 4/0, with that worm head flush style jig.

Once upon a time, Bass Pro marketed a very similar looking. jig head, and being a good consumer, I thought they looked good and looked like they would work so, I bit and I found out that particular jig head worked better in theory than it did in practice. Primary issue was the lack of space between the end of the spring and the tip of the hook, particularly in the larger (heavier) sizes.  Maybe an extra wide gap hook would solve that design issue, I don't know.  My thinking is that the smaller 2/0 or 3/0 regular bend hook would exacerbate that issue.   That style of jig head didn't work for me - at all - hope you have better fortune with it.

 

In addition, I thought the head shape was a compromise and I couldn't divine its intended purpose.  There are better all purpose & come through vegetation heads -  (Brewer Slider heads comes to mind) better bottom contact heads (Mega Strike comes to mind) and there are any number of ball head with springs designs that better solve the end of spring to tip of hook issue.  For a slide on the hook shank design, Bagley & Bite Me baits have a decent design, IMO.

This design has a free swinging screw lock, on the 4x4 4/0 version i use i have no hookup issues because of the free swinging screw lock

I see it now - wasn't looking that close previously - obviously a better design than the old BPS design.

6th Sense makes them in 3/0, they are 1/4 Oz and intended use as shakey heads.  I have them in 4/0, nice.

Real Deal tungsten just like your pic with hook size you want. TW sells em'  was using them yesterday with large curly tail grubs.     Dave
