    Default Jig head recommendation


    I’m running low on unpainted jig heads. I’m thinking of swapping to non-lead sickle hooks with some weedless. Any recommendation on who to buy from or brand?

    I’ve seen where they’ve cracked them before. Probably same place as you.

    As in impact with the screen or the unit showing them. I’m confused. More than usual.

    It is a harder more dense material. I didn’t think the hardness difference of a jig head would be that much more likely to damage the screen, but don’t plan on testing lol.

    Thanks Eagle. Have you ever used Grizzly Jig’s brand? I see they have sickle, round heads, but they are red hooks. Not sure that it matters, I’ve just never used them.
