Picasso Suijin Scrounger Heads turn soft-plastic trailers into a swimming, kicking presentation with a cupped bill that can be tuned to the bait and water temperature. Developed with Elite Series pro and scrounger specialist Aaron Martens overseeing every step, the Suijin combines a purpose-shaped head, proprietary bill material, and a 2X strong Gamakatsu hook. Suijin means “water god” in Japanese.
Let the Bill Create the Movement
A straight-tail plastic does not need a paddle tail to become a moving-bait presentation. The Suijin head cups its bill to generate swimming and kicking action from the trailer. Bill material and thickness matter: each pack includes two extra replacement bills of different thicknesses so you can experiment with a tighter or wider action as trailer size and water temperature change.
Choose it when you want to tune a soft jerkbait's swimming action rather than rely on a fixed-action jig head. The tradeoff is setup time: trailer alignment, bill choice, and retrieve speed need to work together. Test the assembled bait in view before making a full cast, and change one variable at a time.
Keep the Trailer Straight and Secure
The double-tapered, smooth cylinder bait keeper is designed for easy placement and secure holding without tearing the plastic. A concave collar helps resist a fish pulling the bait down. Take your time threading the trailer so it sits straight against the head, then check the hook gap and freedom of movement.
The hook range accommodates small fluke-style plastics through larger straight-tail jerkbaits. Compare Zoom The Fluke 4-inch, Zoom Super Fluke 5-inch, and Zoom Magnum Super Fluke 7-inch as trailer options. Match the actual body dimensions to the selected hook; these are alternatives to evaluate, not universal fits for every model.
Find the Retrieve That Makes It Swim
For freshwater bass fishing, begin with a steady retrieve that lets you observe the trailer's movement. Use countdown and retrieve speed to adjust depth, then compare bill choices if the action is not what you want. Lighter heads offer a starting point for shallower presentations; heavier models provide more weight for deeper water or faster retrieves.
Best for: scrounger-head bass techniques, swimming fluke-style plastics, and straight-tail jerkbait presentations around open water and defined structure edges. Choose it when adjustable action is useful as water temperature or trailer size changes. Dense vegetation and snag-filled cover may favor a weedless alternative to the exposed-hook setup.

Tackle Express Tips
- Mark the hook exit point on your plastic before threading it to help keep the trailer straight.
- Compare bills at the same retrieve speed so you can judge the action change instead of changing two variables together.
- Keep spare bills organized by model and thickness reference, and verify compatibility rather than choosing by weight alone.
Before You Pick a Bill
Are replacement bills included?
Yes. Each pack includes two extra bills of different thicknesses for tuning the swimming action.
What trailers are these designed for?
Fluke-style plastics and straight-tail jerkbaits, sized appropriately for the selected hook.
How many heads come in a pack?
The 1/8 and 3/16 oz sizes contain three heads. The 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1.25 oz sizes contain two.
Which hook is used?
A 2X strong Gamakatsu hook, with size varying by model.
Picasso Smart Mouth Plus Jig Heads give swimbait anglers a broad choice of weights and hook sizes for freshwater and saltwater fishing. A 3X strong Mustad Ultra Point hook and double bait-keeper system make these fish-head jigs a practical choice when secure plastics and a stronger hook are priorities, from lighter presentations to large swimbaits worked along deep ledges.
Keep Your Plastic Where You Rigged It
A plastic that slides down the hook interrupts the retrieve and needs constant adjustment. The Smart Mouth Plus combines a keeper on the collar with a wire barb on the hook shaft to help hold your bait in place through repeated casts. Thread the plastic straight, seat it against the head, and check that both keepers engage without tearing the nose.
The 3X strong hook is intended for demanding presentations and larger fish. Match your rod, line, drag, and hookset to the complete setup rather than treating a strong hook as a guarantee against bending. For a lighter finesse presentation, consider whether a lighter-wire hook would better suit your tackle.
Match the Hook First, Then Dial In Depth
Choose hook size to suit the plastic's body length and depth, leaving a clear hook gap and room for the tail to move. Then choose head weight for depth, current, and retrieve speed. The heavier options and hooks up to 7/0 accommodate larger swimbaits and provide weight for faster retrieves over deep ledges while maintaining bottom contact.
For smaller swimbait setups, compare the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch and Keitech Swing Impact 4-inch. Verify the fit on your selected hook before rigging; neither bait is a universal match for every hook size in this range.
Best for: freshwater bass swimbait fishing, saltwater soft-plastic presentations, and heavier swimbaits worked along deep ledges. Start with a steady retrieve, then adjust speed or countdown to hold the intended depth. Open water and defined edges offer room for an exposed-hook presentation; thick vegetation or snag-filled cover may call for a weedless alternative.
More Ways to Build Your Presentation
The original product information identifies compatibility with Picasso Bait Balls, V Rigs, and Inviz Wire Pro spinnerbaits. Match the chosen head and plastic to the rig's intended configuration and your rod's total casting rating. The broader Smart Mouth Plus range is described in five colors and weights from 1/8 oz through 2 oz; this listing offers the weight-and-hook combinations shown below, not every model in that broader range.
- Designed for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
- 3X strong Mustad Ultra Point hooks.
- Double bait keepers: one on the collar and a wire barb on the hook shaft.
- Listed hook sizes range from 2/0 to 7/0, depending on weight.
- 1/8 through 1/2 oz options: three heads per pack.
- 3/4 and 1 oz options: two heads per pack.
Tackle Express Tips
- Mark the intended hook exit point against the plastic before threading it onto the head to help keep the body straight.
- Use enough weight to control depth without automatically choosing the heaviest option. Compare fall rate and retrieve speed on your first few casts.
- Inspect the plastic around both keepers after repeated casts. Re-rig or replace a torn bait before it starts sliding or swimming crookedly.
Before You Rig Up
Can I use these in saltwater?
Yes. Smart Mouth Plus heads are designed for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
What hook does the Plus use?
It uses a 3X strong Mustad Ultra Point hook. Hook size varies by the selected model.
How many heads come in a pack?
The listed 1/8 through 1/2 oz models contain three heads. The listed 3/4 and 1 oz models contain two.
What helps hold the plastic in place?
A collar keeper and a wire barb on the hook shaft work together to secure the soft plastic.
Picasso Shakedown Shakey Heads
The Picasso Shakedown Shakey Head set the standard for what a shakey head should be. Built around a patent-pending flexible nickel titanium spring bait keeper, it flexes with every fish and snag — then springs right back to position without breaking. No more re-rigging. No more lost plastics. Just more time in the strike zone.
Key Features
- Patent-Pending Flexible NiTi Spring Keeper – returns to position after every fish, never breaks
- Cross-Eye Gamakatsu Hook – 3/0 for 1/16–3/16 oz sizes, 4/0 for 1/4 oz
- Duraseal™ Coating – super tough finish that increases sensitivity and outlasts the competition
- 3 per pack
Sizes & Colors
- Weights: 1/16 oz, 3/32 oz, 1/8 oz, 3/16 oz, 1/4 oz
- Colors: Green Pumpkin, Black, Watermelon
The Shakedown is the go-to finesse presentation for pressured bass on clear lakes, rocky bottoms, and any situation where a subtle, quivering plastic is the key to getting bit. Pair with your favorite stick bait or finesse worm for a deadly bottom-contact setup.
Picasso Buzz Saw Buzzbaits bring a noisy, double-blade presentation to topwater bass fishing. Counter-rotating blades help the bait plane quickly and track straight, while the tough .051 wire is designed to reduce the need for repeated tuning after catches. A Mustad Ultra Point hook and long-lasting Duraseal coating complete the setup. Each package contains one buzzbait.
Make the Surface Hard to Ignore
Choose the Buzz Saw when a quiet surface presentation is not what you want. Its double blades create disturbance as you retrieve, giving bass a moving target to track across the surface. The counter-rotating design supports straight tracking, helping you keep the bait on your intended line instead of constantly correcting its course.
The tradeoff is deliberate: this is a conspicuous presentation. When fish follow without committing or seem reluctant to chase, a slower or subtler bait may be a better follow-up. Keep the Buzz Saw for situations where noise and surface movement are part of the plan, rather than assuming more disturbance always produces more bites.
Get It Up, Then Keep It Working
Begin retrieving promptly after the cast and find the slowest steady pace that keeps the blades working at the surface. Cast beyond the target where possible so the bait is running cleanly before it crosses the productive area. A consistent retrieve along a bank or cover edge is a practical starting technique.
Best for: freshwater bass, bank-covering topwater retrieves, and fishing along shallow cover edges with room for the blades to turn. Low-light periods and visible shallow feeding activity are useful times to test a buzzbait. Around thick vegetation or tangled wood, check clearance rather than treating the lure as snag-proof.
Choose weight for your tackle, casting needs, and retrieve control. The listed 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 oz models give you options without changing the core double-blade design. Test your chosen model at close range before making longer casts.
Have a Follow-Up Ready
When a bass shows interest but misses the surface bait, consider a separate soft-jerkbait presentation with the Zoom Super Fluke 5-inch, rigged appropriately for the cover. This is a follow-up bait option, not a required Buzz Saw trailer.
If you want to shift from the surface to a subsurface moving presentation around gravel, rock, or ledges, compare the Picasso Shock Blade Tungsten Knocker. It offers a different tool for covering water when the topwater approach is not the right fit.
Built Around Noise and Straight Tracking
- Double-blade buzzbait design for a noisy surface presentation.
- Counter-rotating blades for fast planing and straight tracking.
- Tough .051 wire designed to reduce repeated re-tuning.
- Mustad Ultra Point hook.
- Long-lasting Duraseal coating.
- One buzzbait per package.
Tackle Express Tips
- Make a short test retrieve to find the pace that keeps your chosen model working at the surface.
- Check wire alignment and blade clearance after a fish or snag. Tough wire reduces tuning demands but does not eliminate inspection.
- When a fish strikes, let the rod load before setting the hook instead of reacting only to the splash.
Before You Make a Surface Pass
What makes the Buzz Saw different?
It uses two counter-rotating blades for a noisy presentation, fast planing, and straight tracking.
What hook does it use?
A Mustad Ultra Point hook. Hook size is not specified in the listing information.
Which weights are listed here?
3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 oz, each with Black/Black Blade, Gizzard Shad/Nickel Blade, and White/Nickel Blade options.
How many buzzbaits are included?
One per package.
The Picasso Aaron Martens Shock Blade Tungsten Knocker combines a compact tungsten football head with strong vibration, hunting action, and the distinct sound of a blade knocking against tungsten. Developed in collaboration with Elite Series pro Aaron Martens, this bladed jig is a purposeful choice for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass around the hard-bottom areas you would normally fish with a football jig or crankbait.
Hear the Knock, Feel the Bottom
At its center is a solid, one-piece 97% tungsten football head. Its smaller profile compared with its lead counterpart keeps the presentation compact, while the tungsten construction adds sensitivity. The blade contacts the head to produce a distinctive knocking sound, giving you a different presentation from a conventional skirted football jig.
Picture a retrieve across a rocky point: keep the bait moving with a controlled pace, feel for changes in bottom contact, and adjust speed as it crosses the edge. The combination of vibration, hunting movement, and sound makes this a useful option when you want to cover hard-bottom water with a moving bait rather than work one small spot at a time.
Put It Where a Football Jig Belongs
Work gravel banks, hard clay bottoms, rocky points, riprap, and offshore humps and ledges. A steady retrieve is a sensible starting point; adjust speed and countdown to suit the depth and maintain the presentation you want. Choose a lighter listed weight for shallower work or a slower fall, and consider a heavier weight when deeper water or current requires more control.
Best for: largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass; steady-retrieve bladed-jig fishing; and covering gravel, clay, rock, and offshore structure. Choose it when compact head size, bottom feedback, and a knocking sound matter. Around thick vegetation or snag-filled wood, an exposed-hook moving bait requires more care than a weedless presentation.
Fish the Long Skirt Your Way
The extra-long, super-soft silicone skirt creates an undulating movement comparable to rubber skirt material. Leave it long, custom-trim it, or fish the lure without a trailer. That flexibility lets you tune the profile without making an added plastic mandatory.
If you prefer a trailer, compare the Keitech Swing Impact 4-inch for a paddle-tail option, or the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch for a shorter alternative. Check the plastic's fit on the 6/0 hook and test the bait's action before committing to a full retrieve.
Compact Head, Full-Sized Details
- Developed in collaboration with Aaron Martens.
- Solid, one-piece, 97% tungsten football head.
- Compact head profile compared with its lead counterpart.
- Vibration and hunting action with blade-to-tungsten knocking sound.
- Extra-long, super-soft silicone skirt that can be trimmed or fished without a trailer.
- 6/0 Gamakatsu hook.

Tackle Express Tips
- Make a few casts with the full-length skirt before trimming. Remove small amounts at a time so you can compare the change in profile.
- Start without a trailer to learn the lure's action, then add a plastic if you want a different silhouette.
- Adjust retrieve speed before changing weights, and pay attention to where the bait contacts gravel, clay, or rock.
Before Your First Cast
What creates the knocking sound?
The blade knocks against the tungsten head as the lure works.
Do I need a trailer?
No. The extra-long skirt allows the lure to be fished without a trailer, or you can trim the skirt and add a suitably fitted plastic.
Which species and structure is it intended for?
It is intended for spotted, smallmouth, and largemouth bass around gravel banks, hard clay bottoms, rocky points, riprap, and offshore humps and ledges.
What hook does it use?
The lure is equipped with a 6/0 Gamakatsu hook.

The Rig That Mimics a Whole School
The Picasso School-E-Rig Bait Ball was co-developed with Elite Series Pro Fred Roumbanis and FLW Tour Pro Brent Ehrler to deliver the most realistic schooling baitfish presentation in bass fishing. When bass are keyed in on shad schools and ignoring single-bait presentations, the Bait Ball changes the game — multiple swimbaits moving together in tight formation trigger the competitive feeding instinct that makes bass commit.
Built Around American-Made Premium Components
The entire Picasso School-E-Rig line uses all American-made premium components. The Bait Ball features piano-grade wire arms, a nose swivel to prevent line twist and ensure the rig runs true, and an impact-resistant plastic head. Blades are plated in 24k gold or nickel for maximum flash and added vibration — the kind of attraction package that draws fish from a distance and triggers strikes up close.
Where Single-Bait Rigs Leave Fish on the Table
When bass are suspended and feeding on tight baitfish schools, a single swimbait looks like a straggler — easy to ignore. The Bait Ball presents up to 5 jig heads simultaneously in a compact, castable package that looks exactly like a pod of fleeing shad. The result is more strikes, more hookups, and more fish in the boat on tough days.
Versatile Enough to Replace Your Spinnerbait
The compact design of the Bait Ball makes it accurate enough to pitch around docks, blowdowns, and other structure — something full-size Alabama rigs can't do. It can be rigged with up to 4 additional blades or up to 5 School-E-Rig jig heads, and it works equally well as a spinnerbait replacement in open water. Perfect for pressured fisheries and tough conditions where fish have seen everything else.
The Right Pick If...
- Bass are suspended and keyed in on schooling baitfish
- Single-bait presentations are getting ignored
- You need an Alabama-style rig that's accurate enough to cast around structure
- You're fishing pressured water where fish have seen every standard bait
- You want a compact multi-bait rig that doubles as a spinnerbait replacement
Best Techniques
- Steady Retrieve: Medium-speed retrieve to keep all blades spinning and swimbaits swimming in formation — the bread-and-butter presentation
- Slow Roll: Deep, slow retrieve along bottom or through suspended fish — deadly in cold water or post-front conditions
- Casting Around Structure: The compact design allows accurate pitches to docks, laydowns, and blowdowns where full-size rigs can't go
- Open Water Schooling: Cast into breaking fish and retrieve at speed to match the chaos of a baitfish school under attack
Best Conditions
- Fall and late summer when bass are aggressively chasing shad schools
- Suspended fish on main lake points, humps, and channel edges
- Clear to lightly stained water where flash and vibration carry
- Pressured fisheries where single-bait presentations have been picked apart
- Post-spawn through fall when schooling behavior peaks
Best For
- Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass
- Techniques: Alabama Rig, Multi-Swimbait, Spinnerbait Replacement, Structure Casting
- Conditions: Clear water, suspended fish, schooling bass, pressured fisheries

Tackle Express Tips
- Match Swimbait Size to the Model: Use 3–3.5" paddle tails on the 5" Finesse, 3.5–4" on the 6.75" Junior, and 4–5" swimbaits on the 8" Original for the most natural profile and best action.
- Nickel vs. Black Blades: Nickel blades excel in clear water and sunny conditions for maximum flash. Black blades shine in stained water, overcast days, or when fish are pressured and spooking off flash.
- Go Heavy on Fluorocarbon: Use 15–20 lb fluorocarbon leader material. Fluoro sinks, keeping the rig in the strike zone, and its low visibility won't spook fish in clear water.
FAQ
What swimbaits work best with the School-E-Rig Bait Ball?
Paddle tail swimbaits in 3–5" sizes work best depending on the model. Popular choices include Keitech Swing Impact FAT, Z-Man Swimmerz, and Zoom Swimmin' Super Fluke. Match the swimbait size to the rig size for the most natural presentation.
Is the School-E-Rig Bait Ball legal in tournament fishing?
Regulations vary by tournament and state. Many tournaments limit the number of hooks or baits on a single rig. Always check your tournament rules and local regulations before fishing the Bait Ball competitively.
What rod and reel setup should I use?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'6"–8' casting rod with a high-speed reel (7:1+) and 20–30 lb fluorocarbon or 50–65 lb braid is recommended. The multi-bait rig creates significant drag in the water, so you need the backbone to control the retrieve and drive hooks home.
The Picasso Aaron Martens Rhino Neds Jig Heads give a stand up presentation to your plastics when a finesse technique such as the popular Ned Rig is just the ticket to trigger a bite. Ideal for highly pressured waters or when the bite gets tough and the fish are finicky.
The flexible double nickel titanium weed guard lets you work through cover without hindering the hook set. Equipped with a super-sharp 2X-strong Gamakatsu Hook as well as a round wire bait keeper for easy rigging and minimal damage to your soft plastics.

Picasso Willow Blades give you replacement and customization options for compatible bladed lures, with Nickel and Gold finishes in sizes 1, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4. Split rings are included, making these a useful addition to a lure-maintenance kit when you want to replace a blade or compare a different size or finish without replacing the entire bait.
Refresh the Blade, Keep the Lure
A missing or damaged blade does not always mean retiring a favorite lure. Start by matching the original blade's size, attachment, and clearance, then check whether the included split ring suits the connection. These are individual lure components, not a complete lure or a guarantee of fit on every spinnerbait or umbrella rig.
For customization, change one feature at a time. Compare Nickel with Gold while keeping size the same, or change size while keeping finish consistent. That makes it easier to judge how the completed lure looks and runs instead of changing several variables together.
Match the Setup Before You Cast
Use the size number as a selection reference, not a measurement in inches. The listing does not specify blade length or width, so compare the physical fit with your existing hardware before installing. A larger blade needs enough room to move without contacting neighboring blades, wires, or the lure body.
Best for: freshwater bass lure maintenance, replacement-blade projects, and tuning compatible spinnerbait or umbrella-rig presentations. Choose these when you need a willow blade in a listed size and finish. If you need a ready-to-fish bait, a complete lure is the more direct choice.
Test your finished lure with a short, visible retrieve before casting farther. Start at your normal steady-retrieve speed, check that the blade moves freely, and repeat the test when changing speed. Select the final size and finish for the water and presentation you are fishing rather than assuming one combination is best in every light or clarity condition.
For the Rest of Your Umbrella-Rig Kit
If you are building a broader schooling-baitfish setup, compare the Picasso School E Rig Sweet 16, which uses a multi-tier willow-blade layout. For hookless bait positions, consider Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads. These are related rigging options, not confirmation that every replacement blade size fits every attachment.
Pick the Finish and Pack You Need
- Willow-style lure blades.
- Nickel and Gold finish options.

Will these fit every bladed lure?
Universal compatibility is not specified. Check the blade's fit, attachment hardware, and clearance on your lure before use.
Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads let you add weighted soft-plastic baits to an umbrella-rig spread without adding an open hook at every position. These hookless heads replace standard hooked jig heads where you want a dummy bait, helping you build the presentation while controlling the number of hooked baits. The listed Shad models come in four weights, with a 1/4-inch-long medium spring and five heads per pack.
Keep the Baitfish Spread, Skip the Extra Hook
A dummy bait fills a position in the spread without functioning as a hooked bait. That is the reason to choose these instead of a conventional jig head: they add a weighted bait presentation where you do not want an exposed hook. The tradeoff is straightforward. A fish that takes only a dummy bait has no hook at that position.
The original product information also identifies use around heavy cover. Replacing selected exposed hooks can reduce the number of hook points in the spread, but it does not make the entire umbrella rig snag-proof. Wires, blades, and the remaining hooked baits still require room to move.
Build a Spread That Swims Cleanly
Use dummy heads alongside appropriately matched hooked heads, choosing weights deliberately rather than assuming every position should carry the same load. Begin with a short, visible retrieve to check whether the baits swim cleanly without fouling one another. Adjust bait alignment and the finished spread before making longer casts.
Best for: freshwater bass umbrella-rig fishing, Alabama-rig-style presentations, and adding hookless soft-plastic positions to a baitfish spread. Choose them when you want fewer exposed hooks while retaining weighted baits. For a single bait that needs to catch fish on its own, choose a conventional hooked jig head instead.
Start with a steady retrieve and adjust speed or countdown for the depth you want. Account for the combined weight of the rig, every head, and every plastic when checking your rod's casting rating. There is no fixed running depth for an individual dummy head once it becomes part of an assembled rig.
Pair Dummy and Hooked Positions Thoughtfully
The Picasso School E Rig Sweet 16 is an umbrella-rig option to consider for a schooling-baitfish presentation. For hooked positions, compare Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Heads in Shad. Check attachment fit and total rig weight as you assemble your setup.
For a soft-plastic option, compare the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch. Check that the bait's nose seats securely on the spring and that the body remains straight. A plastic's length alone does not establish its fit on the attachment.
Simple Parts, Specific Purpose
- Hookless dummy heads for umbrella-rig bait positions.
- Used in place of standard hooked jig heads where fewer open hooks are desired.
- Medium spring measures 1/4 inch long.
- Shad finish on all four listed options.
- Weights range from 1/16 oz to 1/4 oz.
- Five heads per pack.
Tackle Express Tips
- Inspect the plastic's nose after attaching it to the spring. Replace torn plastics rather than relying on a loose attachment.
- Test the completed spread beside the boat or bank and correct tangled wires or crooked baits before casting.
- Check current rules with the official fish-and-wildlife agency for the water you fish. Dummy heads alone do not establish that an assembled rig meets local requirements.
Before You Assemble the Rig
Do these heads have hooks?
No. They are dummy heads for bait positions where you do not want an open hook.
How many heads come in a pack?
Each pack contains five heads.
How long is the spring?
The medium spring measures 1/4 inch long.
Do dummy heads automatically make an umbrella rig legal?
No. Requirements vary by location and water. Check current official regulations for your complete setup rather than relying on a product description.
The Picasso Football Jig has an almost completely recessed line tie to assure the jig "rolls" out of any rocky cover without hanging up. The textured head creates traction causing the jig to rock back and forth instead of just "skidding" or "skating" across the bottom. This gives the skirt and plastic trailer more action to entice a bass to strike.
This jig also has a very vertical fall which makes it great for "stroking" or fishing vertical structure such as bridge abutments. Made with a Gamakatsu hook to ensure penetration even in deep water. Comes in 11 fish-catching colors.
Style: Fantasy Football Jig
Sizes: 1/4 oz, 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz
Picasso Tungsten Ball Jigs pair 97% pure tungsten construction with a 2X strong Gamakatsu hook for anglers who want clear feedback while fishing soft plastics. These lead-free ball jig heads are sold in packs of three, with listed options in 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz and hook sizes selected to suit different plastic profiles.
Feel More of What Your Bait Touches
The head's hardness and density are the central reasons to choose this jig. The original product information identifies greater hardness and density than polymer/tungsten jigs, with an emphasis on feel and sensitivity. If you want a simple jig-head presentation that keeps material choice and bottom feedback front and center, this is a straightforward option.
Picture working a soft plastic along a bank: make a controlled cast, let it settle, and retrieve with short movements and pauses while watching your line. Focus on changes in feel as the bait moves across the bottom. Sensitivity is useful, but it does not replace attention to line movement or a well-matched rod and line.
Choose the Hook for the Plastic
The listed 1/8 oz models use a 3/0 hook. At 3/16 oz, choose between 3/0 and 4/0. Select the hook for the plastic's body depth, length, and exit point, then choose weight for your intended depth and retrieve. A larger hook is not automatically a better fit for a smaller bait.
For soft-plastic options to compare, look at the Zoom The Fluke 4-inch for a soft-jerkbait presentation or the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch for a paddle-tail approach. Check the fit on your selected hook and test how the assembled bait swims before fishing it.
Keep the Presentation Simple
For freshwater bass fishing, start by slowly working a suitably rigged plastic near the bottom with pauses, or use a steady swimming retrieve when the bait and depth call for it. The lighter option offers a starting point when a slower fall is desirable; the 3/16 oz option adds weight when you need more control. Depth, current, line, and plastic size all affect the finished presentation.
Best for: freshwater bass soft-plastic presentations, bottom-contact jig-head fishing, and swimming appropriately sized plastics around open water or sparse cover. Choose these when a lead-free tungsten head and a 2X strong hook are priorities. An exposed-hook setup needs care around snag-prone cover, where a weedless rig may be more practical.
What Comes in the Pack
- 97% pure tungsten construction for feel and sensitivity.
- Hardness and density identified as higher than polymer/tungsten jigs.
- Lead-free construction.
- 2X strong Gamakatsu hooks.
- Three jig heads per pack.
Tackle Express Tips
- Hold the plastic alongside the hook and mark the exit point before threading it. A straight body is a better starting point than trying to correct a crooked bait with retrieve speed.
- Compare 1/8 and 3/16 oz with the same plastic to learn how the extra weight changes fall and control.
- Check the hook point, knot, and plastic after bottom contact or a fish. Re-rig a damaged or crooked plastic before the next cast.
Before You Pick a Pack
Are these lead-free?
Yes. The product information identifies these as lead-free jig heads made with 97% pure tungsten.
What hook do they use?
A 2X strong Gamakatsu hook, with 3/0 or 4/0 available depending on the selected weight.
How many jig heads are included?
Each pack contains three heads.
Which weight should I choose?
Choose based on depth, current, plastic size, and the presentation you want. Start lighter when a slower fall suits the situation and add weight when more control is needed.
The Picasso School-E-Rig Umbrella Rig gives freshwater bass anglers a platform for presenting a spread of soft plastics instead of a single bait. This listing offers three Shad models: 5-inch Finesse, 6.75-inch Junior, and 8-inch Original. Choose the model for your intended presentation, then add appropriately matched jig heads and plastics. Soft baits and jig heads are not included.
Give Bass a Different Look
When you want a change from a spinnerbait or single swimbait, an umbrella-rig spread offers a grouped-bait presentation. The Finesse model provides the smallest listed size, while Junior and Original give you larger model options. These labels describe the rig choices, not included swimbait lengths.
Choose the smaller model when a more compact presentation is your priority. Consider the larger models when you want a larger rig platform, while checking the assembled setup's clearance and casting weight. More components also mean more setup and more opportunities for tangles than a single bait, so take time to tune the spread before fishing.
Fish the Edges, Not Blindly Into the Cover
The existing listing emphasizes finesse presentations around docks, blowdowns, laydowns, and tight structure. Work the accessible edges and openings rather than assuming an umbrella rig is weedless or snag-proof. In dense wood or vegetation, a single weedless bait may be the more practical choice.
For pressured bass or clear-water situations, a compact spread is an option to test, not a guaranteed answer. Start with a steady retrieve and adjust speed or countdown to keep the baits at your intended depth. Check the action beside the boat or bank so you know the plastics are swimming straight and not fouling one another.
Best for: freshwater bass fishing, castable umbrella-rig techniques, swimming soft plastics around baitfish, and comparing compact versus larger spread presentations. Paddle tails, smaller swimbaits, and grubs are options to evaluate with appropriately sized heads and hooks.
Build the Spread Around the Baits
Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Heads in Shad are designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs. The 1/16 and 1/8 oz options are starting points to compare for lighter setups, but choose weight for depth and retrieve speed and match the hook to the plastic.
For a paddle-tail option, compare the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch, checking actual hook fit and bait clearance. For weighted hookless positions, consider Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads. Check attachment fit before assembling the full rig.
Account for the rig, every jig head, and every plastic when checking your rod's casting rating. Running depth depends on the completed setup, line, retrieve, and conditions rather than the rig's model length alone.
Choose Among Three Shad Models
- Castable umbrella-rig platform for soft-plastic presentations.
- Three listed models: Finesse, Junior, and Original.
- Listed sizes of 5, 6.75, and 8 inches respectively.
- Shad designation on each selectable model.
- Jig heads and soft baits must be selected separately.
Model and SKU Reference
| Model | Listed size | Designation | SKU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finesse | 5 inches | Shad | PIC140 |
| Junior | 6.75 inches | Shad | PSERJR-01-1PK |
| Original | 8 inches | Shad | PIC141 |
The previous copy referenced three-wire Finesse rigs with 3.5-inch wires and five-wire Standard Finesse rigs with 5-inch wires, but did not establish how those configurations map to these three selectable models. Wire counts and individual wire lengths are therefore not assigned to the models in this table.
Tackle Express Tips
- Make a short test retrieve before a long cast. Straighten crooked plastics and check that the assembled spread runs without tangling.
- Change retrieve speed or jig-head weight one at a time so you can identify what improves depth control and action.
- Check current official rules for the water you fish before deciding how many hooked and hookless baits to use.
Before You Assemble Your Rig
Does this listing contain only the Finesse model?
No. It offers 5-inch Finesse, 6.75-inch Junior, and 8-inch Original Shad models.
Are jig heads or soft baits included?
No. Jig heads and soft baits are not included.
Are the listed sizes swimbait lengths?
No. They are the size labels on the selectable rig models. Choose your plastics separately.
Can I choose jig-head weight from the model length alone?
No. Consider target depth, current, retrieve speed, plastic size, and the total casting weight of the completed setup.
The Picasso School E Rig Sweet 16 Umbrella Rig creates a schooling-baitfish presentation with a four-tier arrangement of 16 willow blades. Twelve #1 blades supply a flickering effect, while four #3 blades add bright flash and vibration. Low-visibility brown wire keeps the emphasis on the baits you rig rather than shiny supporting wires.
Make the School Stand Out, Not the Wire
When bass are focused on groups of baitfish, a single soft plastic offers a different look from a coordinated spread. The Sweet 16 combines multiple blades with your chosen swimbaits to build that school-like profile. Its slightly longer center wire positions one bait behind the rest, suggesting a baitfish straying from the group.
The appeal is a combination of flicker, flash, vibration, and staggered bait placement. Choose it when you want a conspicuous moving presentation around baitfish. If a compact silhouette or minimal flash is your priority, a single swimbait or a simpler rig may be the better starting point.
Build the Spread Around Your Water
Start with a controlled, steady retrieve and watch the rig swim beside the boat or bank before making a long cast. Adjust speed and countdown to reach the depth you want while keeping the blades and plastics working cleanly. Baitfish-holding points, open-water schools, and the edges of structure are useful places to evaluate this style of presentation.
Best for: freshwater bass fishing, castable umbrella-rig techniques, and covering water where a baitfish-school presentation fits the forage. It is a practical option when flash and vibration are desirable; around dense vegetation or snag-filled cover, the spread needs more room than a single weedless bait.
Count the complete assembled setup when matching it to your rod's casting rating, including the rig, all jig heads, and every plastic. No fixed running depth is specified here because depth depends on the completed rig, line, retrieve, and conditions.
Choose Heads and Plastics That Swim Together
Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Heads in Shad are designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs. Match head weight and hook size to your chosen plastics rather than selecting each component independently.
Compare the Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch and Keitech Swing Impact 4-inch as soft-plastic options. Check hook gap, tail clearance, and the balance of the finished spread. Plastic swimbaits are not included.
A Head and Swivel Built for the Job
The lightweight, high-impact-resistant plastic head houses an embedded nose swivel. The swivel is designed to help prevent line twist and reduce the leverage a hooked fish can exert against the rig. Keep the connection free to move, and inspect the rig and your knots before fishing.
- Four-tier blade configuration with 16 willow blades in total.
- Twelve #1 willow blades for a schooling-baitfish flicker.
- Four #3 willow blades for flash and vibration.
- Slightly longer center wire for a trailing-bait presentation.
- Low-visibility brown wire.
- Lightweight, high-impact-resistant plastic head.
- Embedded nose swivel to help manage line twist and fish leverage.
Sweet 16 at a Glance
| Model | SKU | Blade layout | Wire | Head and connection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| School E Rig Sweet 16 | PIC000 | 4 tiers; twelve #1 and four #3 willow blades | Low-visibility brown; longer center wire | High-impact-resistant plastic head; embedded nose swivel |
Not included: plastic swimbaits. Blade count is not a statement of hook count.
Tackle Express Tips
- Test the assembled rig on a short retrieve first. Straighten any crooked plastics and check that baits, wires, and blades move without fouling one another.
- Start with a steady retrieve, then change speed or countdown one at a time to find the most useful depth and action.
- Include every added component when assessing total casting weight, and inspect the nose swivel and line connection regularly.
Before You Assemble It
What does Sweet 16 refer to?
The rig has 16 willow blades: twelve #1 blades and four #3 blades arranged in four tiers.
Are plastic swimbaits included?
No. Plastic swimbaits are not included and must be selected separately.
Why is the center wire longer?
It places the center bait slightly behind the spread to simulate a baitfish straying from the school.
What does the embedded nose swivel do?
It is designed to help prevent line twist and reduce a hooked fish's leverage against the rig.
The Picasso School-E-Rig Extreme Bait Ball gives bass anglers a multi-bait umbrella-rig platform for building a schooling-baitfish presentation. Developed in collaboration with Casey Martin, winner of the 2013 FLW Lake Chickamauga event, the Extreme combines industrial-strength spring wire, 75-pound-test snap swivels, and an embedded 90-pound-test nose swivel. Each package contains one rig.
Present a Group, Not Just One Bait
When bass are tracking baitfish, the Extreme lets you build a coordinated spread instead of presenting a single soft plastic. The original product information describes a broader five-version family spanning a three-wire, six-bait configuration through a seven-wire, sixteen-bait configuration. This listing has three selectable models, detailed below; wire count should not be treated as hook count.
Choose this style when the school-like presentation is the goal. The tradeoff is a more involved setup: every added head and plastic affects total weight, clearance, and the way the spread swims. A single swimbait remains the simpler option when you want fewer components or less room is available around cover.
Choose Your Configuration Before Adding Baits
The listed choices are a 5-inch, five-wire Finesse model; a 7.5-inch, three-wire model; and a 9.5-inch, seven-wire model labeled “9 dummies.” Use those model differences to plan the presentation, but do not infer unlisted dimensions or included accessories from the name. The exact dummy attachment type and complete accessory contents are not specified here.
Match the completed rig to your rod's casting rating. Include the rig itself, every jig head, and every plastic in the total. The snap-swivel and nose-swivel test ratings describe those components, not the casting weight or a guarantee for the complete setup.
Keep the Spread Swimming Cleanly
Start with a short retrieve where you can see the rig. Check for crooked plastics, tangled wires, or baits contacting one another. Once it runs cleanly, use a steady retrieve and adjust countdown or speed to reach the intended depth. Change one variable at a time so you can judge its effect.
Best for: freshwater bass umbrella-rig fishing, Alabama-rig-style techniques, and schooling-baitfish presentations around open water, points, and structure edges. Choose it when you want multiple bait positions and room for the spread to work. Dense vegetation or snag-filled wood may favor a more compact, weedless approach.
Build Out the Bait Positions
For hooked jig-head positions, compare Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Heads in Shad, which are designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs. For hookless weighted bait positions, consider Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads. Check attachment fit and your desired balance before assembling the entire spread.
The Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch is a soft-plastic option to compare. Match the plastic to the selected head and hook, and verify clearance and action on the finished rig.
Hardware Behind the Presentation
- Multi-bait castable umbrella-rig platform.
- Developed in collaboration with Casey Martin.
- Industrial-strength spring-wire construction.
- 75-pound-test snap swivels.
- Embedded 90-pound-test nose swivel.
- Three listed configurations, with one rig per package.
Compare the Listed Models
| Model | Listed length | Wire count | Option note | SKU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finesse Bait Ball Extreme | 5 inches | 5 | Finesse model | 5.9.040-PFBBE-01-1PK |
| Bait Ball Extreme | 7.5 inches | 3 | Three-wire model | 3.6.040-PBBE-01 |
| Bait Ball Extreme | 9.5 inches | 7 | Labeled “9 dummies” | PIC149 |
Tackle Express Tips
- Assemble and test one configuration before changing head weights or plastic sizes. A clean-swimming spread is the starting point.
- Inspect every snap closure and the nose connection before casting, especially after a snag or fish.
- Check current official regulations for the water you fish before deciding how many hooked and hookless baits to use. Neither a model name nor dummy positions establish compliance.
Before You Build the Bait Ball
How many rigs come in the package?
One rig per package.
What are the swivel ratings?
The product information lists 75-pound-test snap swivels and a 90-pound-test embedded nose swivel.
Are all three models the same size?
No. The listed models are 5, 7.5, and 9.5 inches, with five, three, and seven wires respectively.
Does the seven-wire model's name confirm its full contents?
Its option label states “9 dummies,” but the attachment type and complete accessory contents are not specified in the listing information.
Can I assume this rig is allowed on every water?
No. Check current rules with the official fish-and-wildlife agency for your location and water before fishing the completed setup.
The Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Head - Shad gives soft-plastic swimbaits a wobbling head action on School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs. Sold in a 5-pack, these fish-head jigs combine Gamakatsu hooks with a distinctive head design for anglers building a multi-bait presentation.
Give Your Umbrella Rig More Than a Straight Swim
When you want movement from the jig head as well as the soft plastic, the Smart Mouth design adds wobble to the presentation. Its intended role is straightforward: rig it with an appropriately sized swimbait and use it on a castable umbrella rig. For bass anglers working baitfish-oriented presentations, it offers a purpose-built alternative to choosing a jig head on weight alone.
Match the plastic's body depth and length to the hook rather than assuming every swimbait fits every option. Compare the Keitech Swing Impact 4-inch and Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch as soft-plastic options, checking hook exit position and tail clearance before fishing.
Keep the Spread at the Right Depth
Choose lighter heads when a slower fall or shallower presentation is the goal. Step up in weight when depth, current, or retrieve speed calls for more control. On a multi-head rig, account for the combined weight of the jig heads, plastics, and rig itself before matching the setup to your rod's casting rating.
A steady retrieve is a useful starting point. Adjust speed and countdown to work the spread around the depth of visible bait or fish. In open water and along baitfish-holding edges, concentrate on keeping the rig swimming cleanly. Around vegetation or snag-prone cover, exposed hooks require more care than a weedless presentation.
Best for: castable umbrella rigs, Alabama-rig-style swimbait presentations, and freshwater bass fishing around baitfish. Choose it when a wobbling head design and Gamakatsu hook are priorities; choose a weedless setup instead when exposed hooks repeatedly catch cover.
Purpose-Built Details
- Designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs.
- Unique head design produces wobble action.
- Gamakatsu hooks.
- Shad version.
- Five jig heads per pack.

Tackle Express Tips
- Thread each plastic straight and check that it swims without rolling before making a full cast.
- Calculate the entire rig's casting weight, not just the weight printed on one jig-head pack.
- Start with a controlled, steady retrieve, then change depth or speed one adjustment at a time to find the best presentation.
Before You Rig Up
How many jig heads come in a pack?
Each pack contains five Smart Mouth Fish Head Jigs.
What makes the Smart Mouth different?
Its unique head design produces wobble action, and it is designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs with Gamakatsu hooks.
Which weight should I choose?
Base your choice on target depth, current, retrieve speed, and total rig weight. Lighter heads suit shallower or slower-falling presentations; heavier heads give you another option when you need more depth control.
The Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Head Plain pairs a plain-finish fish-head profile with a Gamakatsu hook and a head design that produces wobble action. Designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs, it gives bass anglers a purpose-built jig head for presenting soft-plastic swimbaits in a multi-bait spread. Each pack contains five jig heads.
Let the Plastic and Head Work Together
A straight-swimming plastic is only part of the presentation. The Smart Mouth's distinctive head design adds wobble, while the plain finish keeps the head's appearance understated. Choose it when you want that combination without a painted shad finish. Match the hook to the plastic's body, leaving enough hook gap and clearance for the tail to move freely.
For soft-plastic options, compare the Keitech Swing Impact 4-inch and Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch. Check the actual fit against your selected 4/0 or 5/0 hook before rigging the full spread; bait length alone does not guarantee the right match.
Dial In Depth Without Overloading the Rig
Start with a steady retrieve and adjust your countdown and speed to keep the spread near the fish. Lighter heads are a useful choice for shallower water or a slower fall. Heavier options give you more weight to work with when depth, current, or retrieve speed demands it. These are presentation choices, not fixed depth ratings.
With several heads on one rig, small weight changes add up. Include the rig, every jig head, and all plastics when checking your rod's casting rating. The benefit is a coordinated multi-bait presentation; the tradeoff is more total weight and more exposed hooks than a single weedless swimbait.
Best for: freshwater bass fishing with School-E-Rigs, castable umbrella rigs, and Alabama-rig-style swimbait presentations. Focus on open water and baitfish-holding edges where the spread can swim cleanly. In thick vegetation or snag-prone cover, a weedless presentation may be the more practical choice.
The Details That Matter on the Water
- Designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs.
- Unique head design produces wobble action.
- Gamakatsu hooks for soft-plastic rigging.
- Plain finish with an understated fish-head profile.
- Five jig heads per pack.
- Six listed weight-and-hook combinations from 1/16 oz to 3/8 oz.
Match the Weight and Hook
| Weight | Hook size | SKU | Pack quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/16 oz | 4/0 | 116-PSMJH-PL-M40 | 5 |
| 1/16 oz | 5/0 | 116-PSMJH-PL-G50-Plain | 5 |
| 1/8 oz | 5/0 | 18-PSMJH-PL-G50-Plain | 5 |

| 1/4 oz | 5/0 | 14-PSMJH-PL-G50 | 5 |
| 3/8 oz | 5/0 | 38-PSMJH-PL-G50 | 5 |
Tackle Express Tips
- Rig one bait first and watch it swim beside the boat or bank. Correct any crooked rigging before assembling the rest of the spread.
- Choose hook size for the plastic's body and hook clearance, then choose weight for your intended presentation.
- Change one variable at a time, such as retrieve speed or countdown, so you can identify what keeps the rig at the productive depth.
Before You Build Your Spread
How many jig heads are included?
Each pack includes five Picasso Smart Mouth jig heads.
What rigs are these designed for?
They are designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs, paired with appropriately sized soft plastics.
Does Plain mean this is the Shad finish?
No. This listing is the Plain version. Select the weight and hook size from the options above.
Should I use the lightest or heaviest head?
Use the weight that suits your target depth, current, and retrieve speed while keeping the complete rig within your rod's casting rating. The lightest option is not automatically the best fit for every condition.
