Lead Masters Tube Heads

The Lead Masters Tube Head is a jig head designed to be inserted inside a hollow tube bait, positioning the hook internally for a weedless, natural presentation where the hook point exits through the body of the tube. This internal hook placement keeps the profile clean and snag-resistant while maintaining a full hookset on the strike. Hook size scales with weight — 2/0 for the 1/2 oz, 3/0 for the 3/4 oz, and 5/0 for the 1 oz and 1.5 oz — ensuring the hook gap is properly matched to the tube bait size at each weight. Available in four weights from 1/2 to 1.5 oz. 5-pack (1/2, 3/4, and 1 oz) or 2-pack (1.5 oz).

Key Features

• Internal Hook Design for Tube Baits — The tube head is inserted inside the hollow body of a tube bait so the jig head sits inside the bait and the hook point exits through the side or bottom of the tube; the internal placement produces a cleaner, more natural baitfish profile than an exposed external jig head and reduces snags when fishing around rocks, wood, and structure.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight to maintain proper hook gap geometry at each size: 2/0 for the 1/2 oz (smaller tube baits), 3/0 for the 3/4 oz (mid-size tubes), and 5/0 for the 1 oz and 1.5 oz (larger tube baits); matching hook size to tube bait size ensures the hook point exits at the correct position for a reliable hookset.
• Four Weight Options — 1/2 to 1.5 oz — Available in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 1.5 oz to cover a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights for shallow water and slow presentations, heavier weights for deeper water, stronger current, and faster sink rates.
• 5-Pack or 2-Pack — The 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, and 1 oz sizes come in a 5-pack for value; the 1.5 oz comes in a 2-pack; provides multiple heads per pack for rigging multiple rods or replacing lost heads when fishing heavy structure.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Tube Bait Fishing — The primary application; insert the tube head inside a hollow tube bait so the jig head sits inside the body and the hook exits through the tube; the internal placement produces a natural, streamlined profile that mimics a squid, shrimp, or baitfish depending on the tube color and size selected.
• Rocky & Structured Bottom — Internal hook placement reduces snags when dragging or hopping tube baits across rocky bottom, riprap, and hard structure where exposed hook jig heads would constantly hang up; the cleaner profile allows the bait to slide through structure more effectively.
• Freshwater Bass & Saltwater Species — Tube heads are effective for freshwater bass fishing (smallmouth and largemouth) with tube baits on rocky points, ledges, and gravel bottom, and for saltwater species including Calico Bass, Rockfish, and inshore species where tube baits are an effective presentation.
