Bass_0912 Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 What jigheads are you guys using for 4” easy shiners and 4” swing impacts? Looking for 1/8oz Quote
Finessegenics Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 For 4.3” fat impacts I like this Dirty Jigs head but they are pricy (https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dirty_Jigs_Tactical_Bassin_Finesse_Swimbait_Jig_Head/descpage-DJTBF.html) For 4” easy shiners I go with something with a thinner hook. I have some 1/8 oz round jigheads with a 3/0 lightwire hook. They’re made by a guy who sells them locally but I’m sure you can find something similar online. Quote
GetFishorDieTryin Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Def not VMCs biggest fan, but their Boxer heads have worked well for me in SW. Not my choice for bottom contact, but for just swimming they are tough to beat for the money. I think VMC has increased the from about just under 5$ to 6.50$, but there are still retailers that have old stock and are selling them for around 1$ per head, which is really good. I over 1/4oz they use a 4/0, but 1/4 and under Im fairly certain they use a 3/0 which is perfect for 4" ES or SI. Quote

I’ve fished them a couple times already and have been satisfied Quote
looking45 Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 My friends and I use the simple dart heads. That cost .70 each. We haven’t found a need to use the higher priced, fancy heads. The fish don’t care. YMMV Quote

Looking for 1/8oz Greenfish tackle swimball jighead - good heavier gauge gauge/larger hook gap option with a great keeper OutKast tackle goldeneye - Lots of weight/hook size combos, gammy hook, big eyes. DG Tactical finesse - Nice lead/wire keeper combo with 30 line tie Gamakatsu round jighead - Best price value. More ideal for bottom contact due to neck position, but does just fine swimming above the bottom Quote
