These are the best 1/4 and 3/8 jig heads I've found for both Gulp 6" and Z-Man Elaztech 5" soft jerk shads. The hooks are sticky sharp and they are big hooks with big gaps. head is opimally shaped for fast decent and the "locking" barbs are a weighted section themselves with a gap between it and the head so the bait actually molds back over that and locks in and not just relying on the barbs on that part. Are they pricey - sure, but there are few that can compete with it for this specific application.
