Jig Heads & Soft Plastics
1/8-1/4 oz jig heads
The lead head behind the core searching and shrimp-imitation presentations.
Jig Head + Soft Plastic, Popping Cork variations, and light surf backups all depend on matching depth and current rather than collecting random lure sizes.
Why use it?
Jig Head + Soft Plastic, Popping Cork variations, and light surf backups all depend on matching depth and current rather than collecting random lure sizes.
When to use it
Use it for Grass flats and potholes, Beach troughs and surf cuts when the rig calls for it.
Size, weight, or test
1/8-1/4 oz is the launch inshore range; use the lightest head that reaches and holds the strike zone.
Good starting point
Start with one natural profile and the lightest head that reaches fish.
Fine-tune the setup
Change weight, profile, color, and retrieve only for a specific depth, current, or forage reason.
