This is 1/16oz, I am working on a 1/8 but there's not much room between the eye and bend for lead. Thinking of going with a worm nose or ball head for heavier weights.

Allen Allen... your observation about the available space between hook eye and offset has been my biggest complaint about these jig heads as well. I purchase the 1/4oz heads and file the lead from the back side of the head to arrive at whatever weight I want. Way more work than is reasonable, but fills time during winter evenings. If you develop a worm nose head that leaves more room in front of the offset for bait, please inform us. I assume you are/can mold on a 3/0 bronze hook. oe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
