Lead Masters Red Scampi Lead Heads 2-Pack

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.
