    7” swimbait jig heads

    Anyone make or know of some good heads for 7” Swimbaits?
    Need some 1oz for ledges and prolly some 1/2oz for shallow fishing as well.

    This is a Jenko 3/4oz it has a long hook and seems to work well just looking for other options as well.
    Its hard to tell hook lengths looking at pics online.

    https://zmanfishing.com/collections/...-eye-jigheads# probably your best best
    Or TT HeadlockZ or Striper Eye.

    Z-Man has a number of jigheads for bass, redfish, stripers etc. They're super solid and have good hooks. I use the HeadlockZ a lot, but has a 90 degree line tie. Diesel Eye would be close to angle of the Jenko you posted.

    You won't find many with an appropriate size hook for 7" baits as you used to due to the minnow trend. I used to use Revenge heads but they are no longer around. So I now use Kalins that have a Mustad hook and have been really pleased on their offering for large swimbaits with heavy heads and option for 8/0 hook. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Kali...cpage-KUJ.html

    Here's some other options but I don't have personal experience with them. Of the two below, True Bass looks the best. The Lunker City (bottom link) looks like it would tear up the nose of the bait.

    I would also take a look at Scottsboro Tackle Company, they have their own as well as a lot of others including Basstrix. They hand pour a KILLER swimbait too.
