Siebert Outdoors Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Does anyone here use this style of roundball head and do you like it? http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=2529&CATID=59 I need to find me a mold that makes small weight jig heads that will hold big hooks. I'm going to start fishing grubs more. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 16, 2009 Super User Posted August 16, 2009 Yea: Check out *** Site, Brent sells one I use all the time,his have either a screw or small hook on the head itself. Cabelas : there are a few on this page as well. I use the unpainted ones without the hook guards;several to choose from http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/index/index-display.jsp?id=cat410008&navAction=jump&navCount=1&cmCat=MainCatcat20166&parentType=category&parentId=cat20166 Hey Gman I looking for grubs with a flat tail, instead of twister type, The tail I am looking for looks like the end of a Jelly Worm, if you come across any please let me know.

EdKras Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I am more of a fan of the hook with the screw lock for shaky jigs. The standard ball heads I like with just the barb. The standard heads work with both grubs and tubes. That mold from Barlows would be interesting if you add a wire weedguard(minor modification may be needed). Then it would make a nice skirted finesse jig. Quote

I guess i can modify a weedguard pin to the mold to make these. Hmmmm] Do grubs stay on this style head good? Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 16, 2009 Super User Posted August 16, 2009 I use them with Ikas,Fat Alberts and Hula Grubs, they really rip the Ikas! Quote

I guess i can modify a weedguard pin to the mold to make these. Hmmmm] Do grubs stay on this style head good? I'm fussy about the jigheads I buy. Gotta have a quality hook and equally as important to me is the collar / barb behind the ball. I like a small diameter collar with a well pronounced barb. This (I think) keeps the shape of the bait intact and holds it on better. Here's an example of what I look for in a jighead. This will hold any bait well without deforming the head: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_74255_100010006_100000000_100010000_100-10-6 Quote
Super User Muddy Posted August 16, 2009 Super User Posted August 16, 2009 Barlowes also has this mold for round head/weedless fibers http://www.barlowstackle.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=6&Product_ID=2111&CATID=59 Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Bilgerat. Thats exactly the kind of mold I was looking for to reproduce those for 3-5 inch grubs. I just cant find the mold to hold that big of a hook unless I use the one like muddy posted. I have that mold and I'm thinking I might use it and customize a pin to make it a completely round head if I cant find one like you posted. What a pain. LOL Thanks for helping guys Quote
