What jigheads are you guys using for 4” easy shiners and 4” swing impacts? Looking for 1/8oz 

For 4.3” fat impacts I like this Dirty Jigs head but they are pricy (https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Dirty_Jigs_Tactical_Bassin_Finesse_Swimbait_Jig_Head/descpage-DJTBF.html) 

 

For 4” easy shiners I go with something with a thinner hook. I have some 1/8 oz round jigheads with a 3/0 lightwire hook. They’re made by a guy who sells them locally but I’m sure you can find something similar online. 

Def not VMCs biggest fan, but their Boxer heads have worked well for me in SW.  Not my choice for bottom contact, but for just swimming they are tough to beat for the money.  I think VMC has increased the from about just under 5$ to 6.50$, but there are still retailers that have old stock and are selling them for around 1$ per head, which is really good.  I over 1/4oz they use a 4/0, but 1/4 and under Im fairly certain they use a 3/0 which is perfect for 4" ES or SI.

I ended up going with the 1/8oz boxer heads. I’ve fished them a couple times already and have been satisfied 

My friends and I use the simple dart heads. That cost .70 each. We haven’t found a need to use the higher priced, fancy heads. The fish don’t care. YMMV

Greenfish tackle swimball jighead - good heavier gauge gauge/larger hook gap option with a great keeper 

 

OutKast tackle goldeneye - Lots of weight/hook size combos, gammy hook, big eyes.

 

DG Tactical finesse - Nice lead/wire keeper combo with 30 line tie

 

Gamakatsu round jighead - Best price value. More ideal for bottom contact due to neck position, but does just fine swimming above the bottom
