Favorite Jig heads and weights for keitech fat swimbaits? Update. I'm looking for a detailed head and eyes jig head instead of a weighted hook.

Here is what I have. I struggle threading plastics so it might be why I have trouble getting bit on this set up. I didn't initially buy these for Keitech though. They might be just a little big, that's a 3.8 rigged up

I would trim the head here. But this could be a nice setup

And go with 4.8 or larger that hook is huge 

I was using some Revenge Baits Hedz last season, but I'm not convinced that I caught more fish that I would have with ballheads painted with fingernail polish, which I also sometimes use.

I like the ones by VMC.  The double wire keeper works well and they look nice.

DOA also makes a short shank jig head ,  I recently purchased  some  . I like to use the Mister Twister Sassy Shads and the shorter the shank the more the bait vibrates . I have always bent and shortened standard crappie jig hooks  to get the lures to vibrate  much  like a lipless crankbait . I'm hoping the DOA's will do the same thing .

The VMC Boxer Jighead & the VMC Flat Shad Jighead are both very good.

 Both models sport an effective double barb on the shank keeper as well as Premium1X strong needle point hooks, complete with a forged shank, hi-carbon steel construction and traditional round bend also deliver excellent hooking capabilities.

Recommend some kind of glue, fishing glue or super glue to hold them on.  Makes a big difference and helps prolong the usability of the bait.

 

Doe anyone ever use any kind of stinger hook setup?
