How about a source for 1/16, 1/24, 1/32 with a wire keeper instead of lead barb? I just bought some G-Daddy bodies and they are a very firm plastic. I worried that the size of the lead collar and barb is going to try to tear the body prematurely.

Thanks,

I’m getting these from Barlow’s Tackle in Richardson, TX.

They have all of the weights that you’re looking for and sell them in a 5-pack and 50-pack.

I’ve had really good luck with these and I’m really happy with them. They’re called the “Super Keeper Jig Head”. They have unpainted and painted. Good luck!

best run no keeper on jigheads if you like plastic baits , have never seen anything made that does not tear up the plastic , no matter the plastic or the keeper ....just saying

I prefer no keeper or barbs on them now myself. Might have to just slide it back up hook but bait doesn’t get destroyed as easily and last longer. Plus since I tie jigs I just have the one style.

Thanks guys. Need some kind of bait keeper when we are skipping (sidearm) jig/grubs under docks.

Dab of super glue will take care of that.

Keep a bottle of loctite gel super glue in the boat. Keeps baits pinned to the head real nicely

wrap dental floss around the jig where the bait will go add a drop of glue to it the bait will stay put.

The only problem with gluing the plastic bait onto the jig hook is when the bait gets the tail bit off or it gets chewed up ... then you have to take the whole jig off and re-rig. (not including those that use swivels, snaps, or clips)

I used Super Glue Gel back many years ago, to hold hollow body tubes on my jigheads ... and it worked just fine. Well, that is until Bluegills nipped off all the skirt pieces. Then I went to solid body tubes & didn't have to use glue.

I just rip it off, then pick the remnants off the head with my finger and put a new plastic on. I put the glue on the shank of the hook truthfully, so only a little bit gets pressed to the head.
