basser27 Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 What’s the best 1/8oz jighead for 4” easy shiner? The ones I’ve used either had too big of a hook or too small. thanks Quote

JN94 Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 Eyestrike Trout Eye. They also have a "finesse" Trout Eye with a 1/0 that I like a lot. But is really more suited for 3" or less paddletails Quote

Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted November 7, 2023 Super User Posted November 7, 2023 Berkley Fusion 19 has 1/8 with choice of 1/0 2/0 3/0 size hook https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Fusion19_Swimbait_Jig_Heads_3pk/descpage-FNSW.html 2 Quote
looking45 Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 You don’t need to use the fancy, expensive heads. My friends and I use the plain, everyday dart head. They can be poured with any size hook you want Quote

GetFishorDieTryin Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 I favor a 90*eye Picasso smartmouth (gamakatsu hook) okashira zman finnesse eyes great head, but the wire keeper can cause you to go through more baits Owner Darter head 1 Quote
ohhey Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Keitech super rounds were basically made for these. 1/8oz comes in 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0. I go 2/0 or 3/0 for the 4", and have been liking the 3.5" with the 1/0 lately as well. Quote
SpinLight Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Several good suggestions. I prefer the stacked-cone type head like the Guppy, Nishine or Fusion jigheads. They don't seem to tear the soft plastic as much as barbed-type heads. I will add one more, the unpainted Gamakatsu stacked cone jighead, which is cheaper than most of the above-listed jigheads. To save some money, you can still recycle some of the torn plastics from these jigheads by putting them on another jighead that has a large barb. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted November 8, 2023 Super User Posted November 8, 2023 The Megabass Okashira or the Dirty Jigs MA Swimbait head. Quote
