Favorite Jig heads and weights for keitech fat swimbaits? Update. I'm looking for a detailed head an 2024
DP82 reply :
I have weight hooks but want a few jigs heads. Looked at dirty jigs and mega bass. What's your favorite?

I have luck with Fat Impacts on chatterbaits and underspins.
rangerjockey reply :
I don't get too carried away with jig heads. Just a plain ball head will work fine.
Anywhere from a 1/8 to 1/4 oz. depending on the size of the swimbait and the wind.

I've had success fishing them t-rigged with an Eco pro tungsten 3/16.

Almost can't fish em wrong. Here's something I learned... Try a 1/2oz jig head.. everyone is scared to go heavy because they think it will hinder the action.. but in reality the 1/2oz (even 3/8) will make the front of the impact wobble back and forth on a steady retrieve.. Giving it more action than just the tail moving.

Yes I will use on hand made bladed jigs as trailers. Im looking for a jig head with detailed head and eyes. I have weight ewgs but think jig head would be better presentation

They have a detailed head? Have you rigged one how do they fit?
Fishin' Fool reply :
Do a search on TW and type in swimbait heads there will be alot of choices for what you asked for. Read the reviews on there to determine what you want. Here's my search I'm not sure if this will work or not.

QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
These Trokars work extremely well. They have a shorter shank than most makes it easier to get the bait on straight. Also has prong on top and bottom to keep the bait from turning over or sliding down unlike say the Owner hook that only has one and bait slides/spins more easily. Trokar is also more stout/strong than the Owner. The Owner flexes some, that I dont like for its price.
For less money these Northland Mimic Minnow jigheads have worked well and a bit more detailed. Not as large a hook but they work, caught my PB using one with a 3.8" SIF.
Swbass15 reply :
Here is what I have. I struggle threading plastics so it might be why I have trouble getting bit on this set up. I didn't initially buy these for Keitech though. They might be just a little big, that's a 3.8 rigged up

Came here to recommend these as well
Ktho reply :
For the 2.8 and 3.3 I like the Keitech Tungesten fine guard head and also underspins. For the 3.8 and up I'll usually use Revenge Hedz or VMC boxer heads.

Those look good. I'd use 4.8 and maybe trim the nose a bit. Who makes these and what size? I like the eyes

I think these are exactly what I'm looking for! Can switch hooks and the head isn't fixed. These look amazing
Angry John reply :
War baits makes some mean heads. The hook is very stout and they were originaly made for salt water. If your looking for big fish these will be ready for anything you throw at them.

I have the swim jigs and a few of the regular heads I bought on line...
Senko Junkie reply :
I like to use the Keitech Swing Impact 4" on a 3/8 oz underspin to give the swimbait a little flash.

PatrickKnight reply :
I personally have never seen a jig head make enough of a difference to warrant using anything other than plain ball head jigs. If I was pro fishing for a living maybe but since I'm not Gama round ball head in the proper weight.

Those are the Picasso smartmouth jig head. I bought them about five years ago thinking I would use them and honestly can't say what size. I think 1/4oz 4/0 hook gammy hook I believe.
DP82 reply :
This is what I went with.. I also bought a few freedom hybrids to try. Thanks for the input gentlemen
Ktho reply :
Haven't tried their underspins, hope you do well and report back!

I would trim the head here. But this could be a nice setup

And go with 4.8 or larger that hook is huge
BassThumb reply :
I was using some Revenge Baits Hedz last season, but I'm not convinced that I caught more fish that I would have with ballheads painted with fingernail polish, which I also sometimes use.
GreenGhostMan reply :
I like the ones by VMC. The double wire keeper works well and they look nice.
scaleface reply :
DOA also makes a short shank jig head , I recently purchased some . I like to use the Mister Twister Sassy Shads and the shorter the shank the more the bait vibrates . I have always bent and shortened standard crappie jig hooks to get the lures to vibrate much like a lipless crankbait . I'm hoping the DOA's will do the same thing .
Allen Der reply :
strike king squadron. they are very stout hooks so I throw them on a spinning reel with 20lb braid

A-Jay reply :
The VMC Boxer Jighead & the VMC Flat Shad Jighead are both very good.
Both models sport an effective double barb on the shank keeper as well as Premium1X strong needle point hooks, complete with a forged shank, hi-carbon steel construction and traditional round bend also deliver excellent hooking capabilities.

mheichelbech reply :
Recommend some kind of glue, fishing glue or super glue to hold them on. Makes a big difference and helps prolong the usability of the bait.
Doe anyone ever use any kind of stinger hook setup?
