I use them with Southern Pro tubes . I load by pushing in from rear of bigger tubes and pop hook eye out. I use 1/8 for Umbrella 2'' tubes and 1/4 for 2.5'' Little Hustlers.
They look heavy but sharp

I used to have a mold that made those in 1/16oz (I think) and used them with tube jigs (probably Southern Pro) way back when. They worked okay, but the tubes would split out after a few fish ... so I quit using them & went to regular jigheads with my tubes. Eventually I quit using hollow tubes and went to solid tube jigs.
I do remember using up a lot of my stash of those "fast load" jigheads ... using them with live minners. :biggrin
I think I tried them out with tubes as well but probably not a big enough tube like NIMROD mentioned earlier gonna give these a try as the water continues to cool

I use that style in both 1/16 and 1/32 oz. Mainly use the hollow Southern Pro minnow tubes with them.
I wish I had some in 1/16 and 1/32 for the instances I use tubes which isn't often because they are sort of a pain to rig.
Simplycrappie.com has them in 1-16 w/#4 sickle hooks. I just got some in last week.Quote:

Yeah use that for tube as well, mostly 1.75” hollow tube. What weight are those? Seem big compare to my 1/16oz tube head. To help insert those to tube just wet it with slab sauce.
they used to sell them pre-rigged with a tube jig on them .....
2 problems quickly occur with them ....
as stated ,they split fast and then you have to take off the jig, to insert another one back into the next tube :banghead
took me about one or 2 tries with them to say ,,,,,,total waste of my time for sure
my take on them jigheads is tie them up in a bucktail type design or forget it .....
they just ain't great to use with plastics
OR maybe use them with lip hooked minnows , if you like dunking minners
I sure do and i have them in 1/32 as well if i use tube jigs and want a smaller profile the insider heads are the bomb once you get dialed in on the color of the day thats it that jig usually lasts the rest of the day if you have them rigged properly...they are crazy popular in california with the trout fishing world out there i have an order of 5000 going out today and in 2 weeks he has another order for 10,000 and said he wants 10 grand a week thereafter i have another outlet out there that orders somewhere around 50 thousand a year so they are an old style head but they aint dead yet.Quote:

These are 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 sizesQuote:
