New jighead I started making to use on slider rigs, what does everyone think.

I'm a Slider guy Allen, I dig that.

Best overall jighead I make for pitchin/flippin

I use a lot of sliders, keep hoping a mold will come out for them but I don't think they're popular enough with today's fishermen. 

If I might ask... what is the advantage your jig has over the existing Brewer jig selection?

I'd have sworn that I have some Brewer slider ball heads like that, but I don't see any on his site with 90 deg. tie.  I'll have to take a look when I get home.

They cost about $0.20 each to make instead of $1-1.25 for a Brewer head.

I bought some hooks off Facebook but so far I have not found a mold they will work in. Looking at creating my own mold since they only cost $0.05 each.

Yea, I don't know why though, they are the best "pre-rigged t-tig" I have come across.  They are my go-to for t-rigging Zoom Lizards, Robos, Rage Menaces, and small curly tail worms.  I just used them tonight in fact, a 1/16oz Slider Spider with a Swamp Crawler on it, maybe the best "bass" presentation I have found for Light power spinning rods.

turns out mine are not 90°

Owner Ultra heads aren't 90, either...be interesting to see how those work for you....I don't know enough about line tie nuances to imagine how it will be different

The two I have been using for years are the Jobee (which I have a custom mold for) and the Owner heads. I will get some pics and post later.

They're the very best way to fish thin finesse worms T-rigged or any other small plastic that is too little/thin for a shakyhead. They're part of my secret baits for big fish at a heavily pressured local lake. 

Here are the Owner and Jobee style heads I have been using. I still need to get a pic of the Owner jigheads that are like the Slider ones.

Either do I, but the slop I fish in I need that vertical line tie.

If you like those Owners, take a look at the Decoy NailBomb jig heads;

 

I have settled on them at the best "weedless Ned" jig head that I can find and they are great for thin worms as well.  I like the perpendicular line tie for fishing in current and with the soft zman plastics or with thin worms like Robos, the smaller hookgap isn't an issue and the more compact total package again helps with preventing snags.

I have some of the bullethead Decoy and the hooks are very small. They do work great on 3" Kuttail worms and 4lb line for really clear water.

Oh, I think I have some of those as well, they look very similar to the owner bulletheafs but with an extremely fine wire hook, right?  I don't think I ever fished them as the hooks been out under such little finger pressure that I didn't really know what to make of them.  

 

The Nailbombs have a hook far closer in thickness to the owner Ultrahead.
