Lead Masters Scampi Lead Heads

The Lead Masters Scampi Lead Head is a purpose-built jig head for fishing scampi plastics, single-tail grubs, and swimbaits on the bottom for Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut. The large bait keeper barb on the head locks scampi plastics and soft baits securely in place through repeated drops and retrieves without the bait sliding down the hook shank. Premium CAD tin hooks provide corrosion resistance in saltwater environments and maintain hook point sharpness over multiple trips. Each head is marked with its weight for quick identification in the tackle box. Available in 13 plain weights from 3/8 oz to 24 oz and 3 Glow weights (6, 8, and 12 oz) for deep water and low-light rockfish applications.

Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.

Key Features

• 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 — a critical feature when fishing heavy scampi plastics and large soft baits at depth where re-rigging is time-consuming; also keeps live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) secured on the hook.
• Premium CAD Tin Hooks — Corrosion Resistance — CAD (cadmium) tin hooks provide corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; the tin finish protects the hook from rust and oxidation during extended saltwater exposure; premium hook quality maintains point sharpness over multiple fishing trips without the rapid degradation of standard plated hooks in saltwater.
• Weight Marked on Each Head — Each jig head is marked with its weight for quick identification in the tackle box; eliminates the need to weigh or guess the weight when rigging multiple rods or switching weights to match depth and current conditions.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 1/0 for 3/8–1/2 oz, 5/0 for 3/4–3 oz, 8/0 for 4 oz, 10/0 for 6–12 oz, and 12/0 for 16–24 oz; the hook gap is properly matched to the scampi or soft bait size at each weight for reliable hooksets on Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut.
• Glow Versions — Deep Water & Low-Light Rockfish — Available in 6, 8, and 12 oz Glow for deep water rockfish fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage in the dark conditions below 100 ft; charge the Glow head under a UV light or flashlight before dropping for maximum glow intensity and duration at depth.
• Wide Weight Range — 3/8 oz to 24 oz — The full weight range covers inshore halibut fishing (3/8–1 oz in shallow water) through deep water rockfish and lingcod fishing (4–24 oz in 100–400+ ft of water with strong current); the 16 oz and 24 oz sizes are purpose-built for deep water rockfish fishing in strong current where lighter heads cannot reach the bottom.

Size & Pack Count Guide

Best For

• Rockfish — Scampi & Grub Presentations — The primary application; rig a scampi plastic or single-tail grub on the Scampi Lead Head and drop to the bottom in rockfish territory; the large bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured through repeated drops and retrieves; use heavier weights (4–24 oz) for deep water rockfish in 100–400+ ft of water, Glow versions for deep water where light penetration is minimal.
• Lingcod — Larger hook sizes (8/0–12/0) and heavier weights (4–24 oz) for Lingcod presentations with large scampi plastics and swimbaits; Lingcod are aggressive bottom predators that respond well to large profile baits presented on the bottom in rocky structure.
• Halibut — Lighter weights (3/8–1 oz) with 1/0 and 5/0 hooks for halibut presentations with scampi plastics and grubs in shallow to mid-depth water; the bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured during the slow, bottom-dragging retrieve that is most effective for halibut.
• Live Bait & Frozen Bait — The large bait keeper barb also secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) on the hook for bottom fishing presentations; effective for any bottom species that responds to bait-tipped jig head presentations.
