An insert tube jig head . It is not solid but a tube .






Several places to buy . Timmy Tom and Southern Pro sell them . I use 1/8 th oz with # 1 or 2 hooksize . The Southern Pro Umbrella tube is utc 11 purple/chartresuse . I push jig head inside the tube from the rear and pop hook eye through before tie'n it on the line . Some molders clean lead better than others . If you get ones that are not smooth be sure to clean off any sharp edges before trying to insert into tube . Helps to put a drop of Slab Sauce or other lube to help slide lead head into tube .
