Overview
Built for anglers rigging swimbaits with heavier line and larger profiles, this head pairs an oversized black nickel hook with a double wire keeper to help hold bait securely. Its streamlined shape is designed to let the bait move naturally in the water, while the available sizes cover a range of swimbait setups from smaller presentations to larger rigs. The larger 3/4 oz and 1 oz options are intended for bigger swimbaits, including 7" models like the Suicide Shad. Pack counts vary by size, giving anglers a straightforward option for matching the head to the bait and presentation they want to fish.
