Jigs and Jig Heads
A soft lure is only as good as the head it sits on, and the weight sets how deep it fishes. eTackle checks reputable online tackle shops for jig heads, bladed jigs and jig kits and shows the lowest in-stock price for each, so there is no need to shop around.

Jig Head Weight
The weight of the head sets how fast the lure sinks. Light heads suit shallow water and heavier heads get a lure down in deep water or flow.
Each listing gives the weights in the pack.
Hook Size
The hook should suit the length of the soft lure, so the point sits about a third of the way along the body. Bigger lures need bigger hooks.
Head shapes such as round, bullet and corkscrew change how the lure sits and swims.
Bladed Jigs and Kits
Bladed jigs add a metal blade that vibrates as the lure moves. Jig kits put heads and soft bodies together in one pack.
Soft bodies to fit are listed in Soft Lures.
A rod that suits the jig weight helps with feel and casting, and our best pike rods guide covers rods for lure work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What weight jig head should I use?
Use the lightest head that reaches the bottom or the depth you want. Deep water and flowing water need heavier heads.
What hook size jig head do I need?
Match the hook to the soft lure so the point sits about a third of the way along the body. Each listing gives the hook sizes.
What is a corkscrew jig head?
It has a small wire spiral that screws into the nose of a soft lure, so the body can swing freely behind the head.
Can I use jig heads for pike?
Yes, with a heavy enough hook and a wire trace above it. Pike size soft lures need bigger heads and hooks.
What is a bladed jig?
It is a jig with a metal blade at the front that vibrates as it is wound in. The blade adds flash and movement.
