Lead Heads

The Basstrix Ledge Rocker Jig Head is purpose-built to unlock the full potential of your hollow body swimbaits. A uniquely positioned line tie produces a distinct side-to-side wobble that you can feel through the rod — giving you total confidence your bait is working even when you can't see it. Engineered specifically for 5-inch and 6-inch Basstrix Hollow Body Paddle Tails, it's equally at home grinding deep ledges, powering through thick vegetation, or swimming over submerged structure. A stout 5/0 needle-sharp hook handles violent strikes and heavy hooksets, while chip-resistant powder paint and a molded bait keeper keep everything locked in place fish after fish.

Key Features

• Signature side-to-side wobble — unique line tie position creates action you can feel through the rod
• 5/0 needle-sharp hook — heavy-duty hardware built for trophy bass in thick cover
• Optimized for big swimbaits — purpose-built for 5" and 6" Basstrix Hollow Body Paddle Tails
• Molded bait keeper — locks trailers in place for a flawless presentation every cast
• Chip-resistant powder paint — durable finish that holds up against rocks and structure
• 5/8 oz — ideal sink rate for ledge fishing, deep structure, and submerged weeds

Why Anglers Reach for Big Hammer Swimbait Heads

Big Hammer Swimbait Heads are precision-engineered jig heads built specifically to pair with Big Hammer swimbaits, delivering balanced, lifelike swimming action that turns follows into strikes. The signature flat-head design stabilizes the bait at any retrieve speed, while premium hooks ensure solid sets and keep fish pinned all the way to the boat or bank.

Built for Big Hammer Swimbaits

The main advantage is purpose-built compatibility. These jig heads match the body shape and weight distribution of Big Hammer swimbaits, so you get a natural, level swim right out of the package — no tuning, no tweaking, no wasted casts. The flat-head creates a wide, rolling action that mimics wounded baitfish, and the hook placement is optimized for short-striking fish.

The Problem It Solves

Generic jig heads often cause swimbaits to roll, dive unnaturally, or ride off-center — killing the realistic action that triggers strikes. Big Hammer Swimbait Heads eliminate that frustration with a purpose-built design that keeps your bait swimming true at any speed, from a slow crawl to a fast burn.

What Makes Them Stand Out — and What to Watch For

Advantages: Purpose-matched to Big Hammer swimbaits for perfect balance, flat-head design for stable swimming action, premium sharp hooks, available in 9 colors and 7 weights, and proven across both freshwater and saltwater fisheries.

Considerations: Designed specifically for Big Hammer swimbaits — while they work with other soft plastics, you'll get the best results when paired with the intended bait. Pack counts vary by size (3 per pack for smaller weights, 2 per pack for larger).

The Right Pick If...

You fish swimbaits for calico bass, striped bass, largemouth bass, pike, or musky and want a jig head that delivers consistent, natural action without constant adjustment. These are ideal for anglers who fish kelp beds, offshore structure, freshwater lakes, and rivers where a realistic presentation makes the difference.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow Retrieve: A steady, slow wind lets the flat-head work its magic — the bait swims with a wide, natural roll
• Bounce and Swim: Hop the bait off the bottom, then retrieve slowly — deadly over structure and through kelp
• Countdown Method: Let it sink to the desired depth, then retrieve at a speed that keeps it in the strike zone
• Swim and Pause: Retrieve with periodic pauses to mimic an injured baitfish — strikes often come on the pause

Best Conditions

• Water Clarity: Effective in both clear and stained water — use natural colors (Plain, White, Brown) in clear water and bright colors (Chartreuse, Red, Yellow) in stained or murky conditions
• Structure: Excellent around kelp beds, rocky structure, weed lines, and drop-offs
• Depth: The 7-weight range (3/16oz to 1.5oz) covers shallow flats to deeper structure — match the weight to the depth and current
• Season: Productive year-round, especially strong during baitfish migrations and when gamefish are actively feeding on bait balls

Best For

• Species: Calico bass, striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pike, musky, halibut, and other swimbait-eating gamefish
• Techniques: Swimbaits, slow retrieve, structure fishing, kelp-bed fishing, countdown method
• Environments: Inshore saltwater (kelp beds, reefs, bays), freshwater lakes, rivers, and reservoirs
• Angler Level: Beginner to advanced — easy to fish effectively, but rewards experienced anglers who can dial in the right weight, color, and retrieve for the conditions

Key Features

• Flat-Head Design: Creates stable, natural swimming motion that mimics wounded baitfish
• Premium Hook Construction: Sharp, durable hooks in sizes 2/0 through 5/0, matched to each weight
• Purpose-Built for Big Hammer Swimbaits: Engineered for perfect balance and action right out of the package
• 9 Color Options: Plain, Red, Chartreuse, White, Yellow, Black Red Eye, Green, Brown, and Black

Weight: 0.2 lbs per pack | Brand: Big Hammer

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the Hatch: Choose a head color that contrasts slightly with your swimbait body — a darker head with a lighter body creates a natural silhouette that triggers more strikes
• Weight Matters: Use the lightest weight that still lets you feel the bottom or maintain contact — lighter heads produce a more natural, slower fall that fish can't resist
• Keep a Color Rotation: Carry at least 2–3 colors per trip. Start with natural tones in clear water and switch to brighter colors if the bite is slow or water is stained

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these work with other swimbait brands, or only Big Hammer?

While they're optimized for Big Hammer swimbaits, these jig heads work well with most soft plastic swimbaits of similar size. You'll get the best action and balance when paired with the intended Big Hammer baits, but they're versatile enough for general swimbait fishing.

What's the difference between the 2/0 and 4/0 hook sizes?

The 2/0 hooks are paired with the lighter weights (3/16oz–3/8oz) and are ideal for smaller baits and lighter line. The 4/0 and 5/0 hooks come on the heavier weights (1/2oz–1.5oz) and are built for bigger baits, bigger fish, and heavier cover where you need more hook gap and holding power.

How many come in a pack?

Pack counts vary by size: the 3/16oz, 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sizes come 3 per pack, while the 3/4oz, 1oz, and 1.5oz sizes come 2 per pack.

The Swimbait That Works Every Way You Fish It

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner4 is a 4" soft swimbait built for anglers who want one bait that does it all. Whether you're slow-rolling a lead head along the bottom, running it on an A-Rig, or using it as a bladed jig trailer, the Shiner4 delivers a lifelike, fish-catching action that gets bit. Sold in 3-packs in proven color patterns, it's a staple for freshwater bass fishing and inshore calico action.

Built for Multiple Rigging Styles

The Shiner4 is engineered to perform across a wide range of presentations. Rig it on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook for a weedless setup, pair it with a lead head and 8–12lb fluorocarbon for a finesse slow-roll, or run multiple baits on an umbrella rig for a schooling baitfish effect. Its weight distribution and body profile allow seamless transitions between techniques without sacrificing action.

When Generic Swimbaits Fall Short

Most soft swimbaits are built for one technique and one technique only. The Shiner4 is different — its body taper, tail kick, and weight balance are dialed in to produce natural action whether it's swimming fast, slow-rolled near the bottom, or trailing behind a bladed jig. You get a bait that adapts to the fish, not the other way around.

Lifelike Action + Fluorocarbon Sensitivity = More Bites

Pair the Shiner4 with 8–12lb fluorocarbon and you'll feel every subtle tap and bump. The low-vis fluoro keeps the presentation natural, while the Shiner4's tail kick does the work of mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The result is a bait that looks real, feels real, and gets eaten.

The Right Pick If...

• You want one swimbait that works on a swimbait hook, lead head, A-Rig, or bladed jig
• You're targeting bass, calico, or other predatory fish in freshwater or inshore environments
• You want a proven color selection in a 3-pack value format
• You need a trailer that adds action to your bladed jig or umbrella rig

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow-rolling on a lead head near the bottom
• Weedless rigging on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook
• Alabama/umbrella rig (A-Rig) — multiple baits for a schooling effect
• Bladed jig trailer for added action and profile
• Mid-column swimming retrieve

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a natural baitfish profile shines
• Slow to moderate retrieves when fish are lethargic or pressured
• Schooling baitfish situations — match the hatch with shad or shiner colors
• Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and rivers; inshore calico kelp fishing

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, calico bass, striped bass
• Techniques: Swimbait fishing, A-Rig, bladed jig trailer, lead head slow-roll
• Line: 8–12lb fluorocarbon recommended for lead head presentations

Key Features

• 4" soft swimbait with natural baitfish profile
• Compatible with 2/0–4/0 swimbait hooks
• Works on lead heads, A-Rigs, and bladed jigs
• Unrigged weight: ~0.5 oz
• 3 baits per pack
• Available in Hologram Shad, Sexy Shad, Big Fish, White Ghost, and Rainbow Trout

Models & Specs

Unrigged Weight: ~0.5 oz  |  Length: 4"

Tackle Express Tips

• Go lighter on the lead head in cold water. When fish are sluggish, drop to a 1/4 oz head and slow your retrieve way down — the Shiner4's tail does the work even at a crawl.
• Match the color to water clarity. Hologram Shad and White Ghost shine in clear water; Big Fish and Sexy Shad are go-tos in stained or off-color conditions.
• Use it as a bladed jig trailer for a bigger profile. Thread the Shiner4 onto your bladed jig hook for added bulk and a more pronounced tail kick — deadly when bass are keying on larger baitfish.

FAQ

What hook size should I use with the Shiner4?
A 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook is the ideal range. A 3/0 is a great all-around starting point for most presentations. Match hook size to the lead head weight and the depth you're fishing.

Can I use the Shiner4 on an umbrella rig?
Yes — the Shiner4 is an excellent A-Rig bait. Its compact 4" profile and natural tail kick create a convincing schooling baitfish effect. Run 3–5 on a standard umbrella rig frame for maximum impact.

What line should I use?
For lead head presentations, 8–12lb fluorocarbon is recommended. Fluoro's low visibility and sensitivity make it ideal for slow-rolling the Shiner4 near the bottom. For A-Rig or bladed jig use, match your main line to the technique.

Elevate your saltwater game with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads, featuring a precision-sized 4/0 Mustad Hook. Specifically engineered for the West Coast’s most coveted species, these jig heads are the gold standard for targeting White Seabass, Calico Bass, and Yellowtail. While the larger 8/0 version is built for massive baits, the 4/0 model offers superior presentation for smaller live squid, fresh strips, or compact soft plastics like flukes and swimbaits.   

The signature winged head design is more than just aesthetic; it’s a performance feature that allows the jig to "walk-the-dog" underwater, creating an irresistible side-to-side swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes.

The Lead Masters Banana Jig Head in White is a banana-shaped jig head with a durable white powder coat finish and an angled keeper barb that holds plastics and whole squid up on the head at the correct angle for a natural presentation. The angled barb positions the bait so it rides horizontally and tracks true on the retrieve — a critical detail for White Seabass and Yellowtail presentations where bait angle and action directly affect strike rates. Rigged with a premium hook (6/0 on most sizes, 7/0 on the 1/2 oz, 8/0 on the 2 oz). 2 per pack.

Key Features

• Angled Keeper Barb — Correct Bait Angle & Security — The keeper barb is angled to hold plastics and whole squid up on the head at the correct presentation angle; the angled barb positions the bait so it rides horizontally and tracks true through the water column on the retrieve, rather than drooping or spinning off-axis; bait angle is a critical factor for White Seabass and Yellowtail presentations where a natural, horizontal bait profile triggers strikes and an unnatural angle causes fish to reject the bait.
• White Powder Coat Finish — Durable & Natural — The white powder coat provides a more durable finish than standard paint — powder coat bonds to the lead head at a molecular level and resists chipping, peeling, and scratching through repeated use; the white color mimics the belly of anchovy, sardine, and squid — the primary baitfish and prey species that White Seabass and Yellowtail key on in Southern California waters.
• Banana-Shaped Profile — Squid & Baitfish Imitation — The elongated banana shape mimics the profile of a squid mantle or a large baitfish; the banana profile produces a natural, streamlined presentation when rigged with a whole squid, squid strip, or large swimbait that closely matches the natural prey silhouette that White Seabass and Yellowtail key on.
• Premium Hook — Sized for Large Game Fish — 6/0 hook for the 3/8, 5/8, 3/4, 1, and 1.5 oz sizes; 7/0 hook for the 1/2 oz; 8/0 hook for the 2 oz; the large hook sizes are appropriate for White Seabass and Yellowtail where a strong, large-gap hook is required for a solid hookset and to handle the fish’s size and power during the fight.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing structure where snags are common.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• White Seabass — Squid & Swimbait Rig — The primary application; rig a whole squid or large swimbait on the Banana Jig Head White and fish at depth during squid spawning events or around kelp and structure; the angled keeper barb holds the squid at the correct angle for a natural horizontal presentation; the white powder coat mimics the belly of a squid for a cohesive, natural baitfish appearance.
• Yellowtail — Effective for Yellowtail with large swimbaits and squid presentations; the banana profile and white head are proven Yellowtail triggers when fish are keying on squid and large baitfish; use heavier weights (1–2 oz) for getting the bait down to depth where Yellowtail are holding.
• Calico Bass — Lighter weights (3/8–3/4 oz) for Calico Bass presentations with swimbaits and squid strips around kelp and structure; the white head is effective in clear water where a natural, low-visibility head color is preferred over a bright attractor color.

The Lead Masters Kote Jig Head delivers precision-balanced performance for targeting calico bass, white seabass, and other premium saltwater species along the California coast and Baja waters. Engineered with a durable powder-coat finish in high-visibility yellow, this jig head maintains its finish through repeated casts and aggressive strikes.

Key Features

• Premium Powder-Coat Finish: Long-lasting yellow coating resists chipping and maintains visibility in varied water conditions
• Precision-Balanced Design: Optimized weight distribution for natural swimming action with soft plastics
• Sharp, Durable Hook: Chemically-sharpened point ensures solid hooksets on hard-mouthed species
• Versatile Application: Ideal for surf fishing, rocky structure, and kelp bed presentations
• 2-Pack Configuration: Ready for multiple rigging options or quick replacements on the water

Specifications

The Lead Masters Red Scampi Lead Head is the red head version of the Lead Masters Scampi Lead Head — purpose-built for fishing scampi plastics, swimbaits, and grubs on the bottom for Rockfish, Halibut, and Calico Bass. The red head color is a proven attractor color for bottom species, particularly in deeper water where red wavelengths are absorbed and the head takes on a darker, high-contrast appearance that triggers strikes from Rockfish and other bottom predators. The large bait keeper barb locks scampi plastics and soft baits securely in place through repeated drops and retrieves. Premium CAD tin hooks for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. Available in 3/8–1.5 oz. 2 per pack.

Key Features

• Red Head Color — Bottom Species Attractor — The red head is a proven attractor color for Rockfish, Calico Bass, and other bottom species; in deeper water (below 20–30 ft), red wavelengths are absorbed by the water column and the red head takes on a darker, high-contrast silhouette appearance that is highly visible to bottom-feeding fish; red is also an effective trigger color in shallow water for Calico Bass and inshore species that key on red-toned baitfish and crustaceans.
• Large Bait Keeper Barb — Scampi & Soft Bait Security — The large barb molded into the head locks scampi plastics, grubs, and soft baits securely in place; prevents the bait from sliding down the hook shank during the drop, retrieve, and on the hookset; also secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) for bait-tipped presentations.
• Premium CAD Tin Hooks — Corrosion Resistance — CAD tin hooks provide corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; the tin finish protects the hook from rust and oxidation during extended saltwater exposure and maintains hook point sharpness over multiple fishing trips.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — 1/0 hook for the 3/8 and 1/2 oz sizes (lighter inshore presentations), 5/0 hook for the 3/4, 1, and 1.5 oz sizes (deeper water and larger scampi plastics); the hook gap is properly matched to the scampi or soft bait size at each weight.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack across all sizes.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Rockfish — Red Head Advantage — The red head color is particularly effective for Rockfish in deeper water where the red wavelength absorption creates a high-contrast silhouette; rig a scampi plastic or grub and drop to the bottom in rockfish territory; the bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured through repeated drops.
• Calico Bass — Lighter weights (3/8–1/2 oz) with 1/0 hooks for Calico Bass presentations with scampi plastics and grubs around kelp, rocks, and structure; red is a proven Calico Bass trigger color in both clear and stained water conditions.
• Halibut — Lighter weights (3/8–1/2 oz) for halibut presentations with scampi plastics and grubs on sandy bottom; the slow, bottom-dragging retrieve that is most effective for halibut keeps the bait in the strike zone with the bait keeper barb holding the scampi in place.
• Live Bait & Frozen Bait — The large bait keeper barb secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) on the hook for bait-tipped jig head presentations targeting bottom species.

The Lead Masters Swimbait Head Glow is the glow version of the Lead Masters Swimbait Head, featuring high-intensity, long-lasting glow paint that charges under UV light or a flashlight and emits a bright luminescent glow that is visible to fish in low-light conditions, at depth, and in turbid water. The smaller sizes (1/4–3 oz) include a molded red eye for added visual attraction. All sizes feature 2X strong Mustad hooks for reliable hooksets on large game fish. Charge the head before each drop for maximum glow intensity. Available in 9 sizes from 1/4 oz to 8 oz.

Key Features

• High-Intensity Glow Paint — Long-Lasting & Bright — The glow paint on the Lead Masters Swimbait Head Glow is among the brightest and longest-lasting in the swimbait head category; charge the head under a UV light or flashlight before each drop for maximum glow intensity and duration at depth; the glow is most effective during night fishing, in deep water below the thermocline where light penetration is minimal, and in turbid or stained water where standard painted heads lose visibility.
• Molded Red Eye — Visual Trigger (1/4–3 oz) — The smaller sizes (1/4 oz through 3 oz) include a molded red eye that provides a visual focal point and mimics the eye of a baitfish; the red eye combined with the glow head creates a highly visible, lifelike presentation that triggers strikes from predatory fish in low-light conditions; the 6 oz and 8 oz sizes do not include a molded eye (labeled “No Eye”).
• 2X Strong Mustad Hooks — All sizes feature 2X strong Mustad hooks that provide the wire strength needed to handle large game fish on swimbait presentations; Mustad is one of the most trusted hook manufacturers in fishing; the 2X strong construction resists bending and straightening on hard hooksets and during the fight with large fish.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 2/0 for the 1/4–3/8 oz, 3/0 for the 1/2 oz, 4/0 for the 3/4–1 oz, 6/0 for the 1.5–3 oz, and 10/0 for the 6–8 oz; the 10/0 hook on the 6 and 8 oz sizes is sized for large saltwater swimbait presentations targeting big game species.
• Pack Count by Size — 1/4–3/4 oz: 2 per pack. 1–8 oz: 1 per pack.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Night Fishing — The primary application for the glow swimbait head; charge the head under a UV light or flashlight before each drop; the high-intensity glow is most effective during night fishing when predatory fish are actively feeding in low-light conditions and the glow head provides a visible target that standard painted heads cannot match.
• Deep Water — Below the Thermocline — Heavier weights (1.5–8 oz) for deep water fishing below the thermocline where light penetration is minimal; the glow head provides visibility at depth that a standard painted head loses; most effective for deep water Rockfish, Lingcod, and other bottom species that respond to glow presentations.
• Calico Bass & Inshore Saltwater — Lighter weights (1/4–3/4 oz) for Calico Bass and inshore species during low-light conditions around kelp and structure; the glow head and red eye combination is a proven trigger for Calico Bass during dawn, dusk, and night fishing.
• Turbid & Stained Water — The glow paint provides visibility in turbid and stained water where standard painted heads lose effectiveness; the luminescent glow is visible to fish even in off-color water conditions where light penetration is reduced.

The Lead Masters Swimbait Head Plain is the uncoated, bare lead version of the Lead Masters Swimbait Head — no powder coat, no paint, just plain lead. The natural silver-grey lead finish mimics the lateral line and belly color of baitfish in a way that a painted head cannot, and the bare lead surface reflects light differently than a coated head, producing subtle flash and color variation as the jig moves through the water. Features Mustad hooks for reliable hooksets across freshwater and saltwater applications. Hook size scales with weight from 2/0 through 10/0 across 9 sizes from 1/4 oz to 6 oz. 2 per pack (6 oz is 1 per pack).

Key Features

• Uncoated Bare Lead — Natural Baitfish Profile — The plain lead finish is the defining feature of this swimbait head; no powder coat, no paint — just the natural silver-grey color of bare lead; the uncoated lead surface mimics the lateral line and belly color of anchovy, sardine, and other common baitfish; the bare lead also reflects light differently than a coated head, producing subtle flash and color variation as the jig moves and changes angle through the water column; most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely and a natural, uncoated profile is preferred.
• Mustad Hooks — Trusted Hook Quality — Mustad is one of the most recognized and trusted hook manufacturers in fishing; Mustad hooks provide consistent point sharpness, hook gap geometry, and wire strength for reliable hooksets on swimbait presentations across freshwater and saltwater species.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 2/0 for the 1/4–3/8 oz, 3/0 for the 1/2 oz, 4/0 for the 3/4–1 oz, 6/0 for the 1.5–2 oz, and 10/0 for the 3–6 oz; the 10/0 hook on the 3 and 6 oz sizes is sized for large saltwater swimbait presentations targeting big game species.
• Wide Weight Range — 1/4 oz to 6 oz — Nine weight options from 1/4 oz to 6 oz cover a wide range of depth, current, and swimbait size requirements; lighter weights (1/4–3/8 oz) for shallow water and finesse presentations, mid weights (1/2–1 oz) for versatile inshore and freshwater applications, and heavier weights (1.5–6 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and large saltwater swimbait presentations.
• Freshwater & Saltwater — Effective across both freshwater and saltwater applications; the plain lead finish is particularly effective in clear water conditions in both environments where a natural, uncoated head profile outperforms painted heads.
• 2 Per Pack (6 oz: 1 Per Pack) — Two jig heads per pack for all sizes except the 6 oz, which is sold individually.

• Clear Water — Natural Uncoated Profile — The primary advantage of the plain lead head; most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely and the natural silver-grey lead color provides a more realistic baitfish profile than a painted or powder-coated head; the bare lead surface reflects light naturally and produces subtle flash that a coated head cannot replicate.
• Paddle Tail & Swimbait Presentations — Rig a paddle tail swimbait or shad-style soft plastic on the plain swimbait head and retrieve steadily; the uncoated head lets the swimbait’s color and action take center stage without a painted head color competing with the trailer.
• Calico Bass & Inshore Saltwater — Effective for Calico Bass, Halibut, and inshore species with paddle tail swimbaits in clear water; the plain lead finish is a proven inshore swimbait head option when fish are pressured and a natural presentation is needed.
• Large Saltwater Species — 3 & 6 oz — The 3 oz and 6 oz sizes with 10/0 hooks are purpose-built for large saltwater swimbait presentations targeting big game species in deep water and strong current; the 10/0 hook provides the hook gap and wire strength needed for large fish.

The Lead Masters Swimbait Head in Red is the red version of the Lead Masters Swimbait Head, featuring a red powder coat finish that works as both a deep water color-absorption trigger and a shallow water attractor color. In deeper water (below 15–20 ft), red wavelengths are absorbed by the water column and the red head takes on a dark, high-contrast silhouette appearance — a proven trigger for Rockfish and other bottom species that key on dark-profiled prey. In shallow water, the red head mimics the color of crustaceans and wounded baitfish, triggering strikes from Calico Bass, surf species, and inshore predators. Features Mustad hooks and a durable powder coat finish. Hook size scales with weight across 8 sizes from 1/4 oz to 3 oz. 2 per pack.

Key Features

• Red Powder Coat — Deep Water Absorption & Shallow Water Attractor — Red is one of the most versatile jig head colors across depth ranges; in shallow water (0–15 ft), the red head is a proven attractor color that mimics crustaceans and wounded baitfish, triggering strikes from Calico Bass, surf species, and inshore predators; in deeper water (below 15–20 ft), red wavelengths are absorbed by the water column and the red head takes on a dark, high-contrast silhouette appearance that is highly visible to bottom-feeding Rockfish and other deep water species that key on dark-profiled prey.
• Mustad Hooks — Trusted Hook Quality — Mustad is one of the most recognized and trusted hook manufacturers in fishing; Mustad hooks provide consistent point sharpness, hook gap geometry, and wire strength for reliable hooksets on swimbait presentations across freshwater and saltwater species.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 2/0 for the 1/4–3/8 oz, 3/0 for the 1/2 oz, 4/0 for the 3/4–1 oz, and 6/0 for the 1.5–3 oz; matching hook size to swimbait size ensures the hook point exits at the correct position in the bait for a reliable hookset.
• Wide Weight Range — 1/4 oz to 3 oz — Eight weight options from 1/4 oz to 3 oz cover a wide range of depth, current, and swimbait size requirements; lighter weights (1/4–3/8 oz) for shallow inshore presentations, mid weights (1/2–3/4 oz) for versatile inshore applications, and heavier weights (1–3 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and larger swimbaits.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack across all sizes.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Rockfish — Deep Water Red Silhouette — The red head is particularly effective for Rockfish in deeper water where red wavelength absorption creates a dark, high-contrast silhouette; use heavier weights (1–3 oz) for getting the swimbait down to depth in rockfish territory; the red silhouette effect is most pronounced below 20 ft where red light is fully absorbed and the head appears as a dark, high-contrast profile against the water column.
• Calico Bass — Crustacean & Wounded Baitfish Trigger — In shallow water, the red head mimics the color of crustaceans and wounded baitfish that Calico Bass key on around kelp and structure; lighter weights (1/4–1/2 oz) for shallow Calico Bass presentations with small to mid-size swimbaits; the red head is a proven Calico Bass trigger color in both clear and stained water conditions.
• Surf Fishing — Heavier weights (1–3 oz) for surf fishing with large paddle tail swimbaits; the red head is effective for Barred Surfperch, Corbina, and other surf species that key on crustacean-colored presentations in the surf zone.
• Versatile Depth Range — The dual-action red head — attractor in shallow water, silhouette trigger in deep water — makes it one of the most versatile colors in the swimbait head lineup; effective from the surface to deep water without needing to change head color as depth increases.

The Lead Masters Swimbait Head in White is a purpose-built jig head for rigging paddle tail swimbaits, shad-style soft plastics, and large swimbait trailers across freshwater and saltwater applications. Features Mustad hooks — one of the most trusted hook brands in fishing — and a durable white powder coat finish that provides a natural baitfish belly profile that doesn’t distract from the swimbait trailer’s action and color. The white head is most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely and a natural, understated head color is preferred. Hook size scales with weight across 9 sizes from 3/16 oz to 3 oz. 2 per pack.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Stained & Turbid Water — The primary advantage of the yellow head; yellow remains highly visible in off-color water where natural and white head colors lose effectiveness; the high-contrast yellow head provides a visible target for fish in stained water conditions where reduced light penetration limits the effectiveness of natural color presentations.
• Yellowtail — Yellow is a proven Yellowtail trigger color; the yellow head paired with a matching or contrasting swimbait trailer is effective for Yellowtail on jig presentations; use heavier weights (1–3 oz) for getting the bait down to depth where Yellowtail are holding.
• Calico Bass — Attractor Presentations — Yellow is an effective attractor color for Calico Bass around kelp and structure, particularly in low-light conditions and stained water; the high-visibility yellow head triggers reaction strikes from Calico Bass that are not responding to natural color presentations.
• Surf Fishing — Heavier weights (1–3 oz) for surf fishing with large paddle tail swimbaits; the yellow head is highly visible in the turbid, aerated water of the surf zone where natural colors are less effective; effective for Barred Surfperch, Corbina, and other surf species that key on high-visibility presentations.
• Low-Light & Dawn/Dusk — The yellow head provides a high-visibility profile during dawn and dusk when light levels are low and fish are actively feeding; effective as a transition color between the glow head (night) and natural/white head (full daylight) presentations.

The Lead Masters White Scampi Lead Head is the white head version of the Lead Masters Scampi Lead Head — purpose-built for fishing scampi plastics, swimbaits, and grubs on the bottom for Halibut, Calico Bass, and Rockfish. The white head color is the most versatile and natural baitfish-matching color in the scampi head lineup — white mimics the belly color of anchovy, sardine, and other common baitfish and is most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely. The large bait keeper barb locks scampi plastics and soft baits securely in place through repeated drops and retrieves. Premium CAD tin hooks for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. Available in 3/8–3/4 oz. 2 per pack.

Key Features

• White Head Color — Natural Baitfish Match — White is the most versatile scampi head color for clear water inshore fishing; the white head mimics the belly color of anchovy, sardine, and other common baitfish that Halibut, Calico Bass, and White Seabass key on; most effective in clear water conditions where fish can inspect the jig head closely and a natural, understated head color is preferred over a bright attractor color; also effective as a neutral base color that complements any scampi plastic or grub color without competing with the trailer.
• Large Bait Keeper Barb — Scampi & Soft Bait Security — The large barb molded into the head locks scampi plastics, grubs, and soft baits securely in place; prevents the bait from sliding down the hook shank during the drop, retrieve, and on the hookset; also secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) for bait-tipped presentations.
• Premium CAD Tin Hooks — Corrosion Resistance — CAD tin hooks provide corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; the tin finish protects the hook from rust and oxidation during extended saltwater exposure and maintains hook point sharpness over multiple fishing trips.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — 1/0 hook for the 3/8 and 1/2 oz sizes (lighter inshore presentations with smaller scampi plastics), 5/0 hook for the 3/4 oz size (larger scampi plastics and deeper presentations); the hook gap is properly matched to the scampi or soft bait size at each weight.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack across all sizes.

• Rockfish — Shallow to Mid-Depth — The lighter weight range (3/8–3/4 oz) is suited for shallow to mid-depth rockfish fishing where heavier heads are not needed; white is effective for rockfish in clear water and at shallower depths where the white head retains its color and provides a natural baitfish appearance.

The Megabass Body Balance Jig Head is designed to stabilize big swimbaits like the SPARK SHAD, allowing them to perform to their fullest potential. With its low center-of-gravity build, the BODY BALANCE keeps swimbaits on track to give off the kind of stable swimming action that reassures finicky target fish. With more weight along the keel of the jighead, BODY BALANCE adds subtle roll to your presentation, and acts as a skid-plate when targeting bottom structure in pursuit of big bass.

Double worm-keeper secures baits snugly, allowing you to make long casts without worrying about losing baits. After trying the BODY BALANCE, you will see just how a properly balanced jig head can improve the effectiveness of your swim baits.
