Goober Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey guys, I am trying to find what jighead everyone is using for there swimbaits. I was looking at getting the ultra minnow mold but wasn't sure if that would be best. I read somewhere that a guy was using his poison tail jig heads for this. What other jig heads are ya'lll using. I might be getting another mold soon. I love pouring and making my own jigs. Can't wait to get on the water and try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hands down. Snootie jig. It has a lot of sizes and can be used for everything, along with the fact you can put on a lot of different style hooks on there. My second choice would be Poison Tail or Grass Jig.

My good friend cadman has beat me to the punch, I was going to tell you the same thing but I would go with the Snootie myself. I never even thought about it until a friend told me that they would probably work and so I tried it and it was like it was made for it. I like the 3/8oz Snootie with a 4/0 hook, that is perfect for a hollow body swimbait but you do need a drop of superglue to hold it on securely.

softworm Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am using a banan head. I like it because you can use both 60 & 90 deg. hooks. I've modified mine,,don't have a collar on them any longer. I use wire for a keeper on them. Works great, especially with the L111 wide gap Eagle Claws.

Musky Glenn Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have been using plain 1/8 oz. round head jigs on my A rigs. They really seem to shake the body of the swim bait better. Just my two cents. Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
