Quick take
A 1/16 oz round jig head with lifelike baitfish head for saltwater casting and jigging.
This 1/16 oz red pumpkin Bass Assassin jig head pairs a bait fish profile with a needle-point wide-gap hook. It is meant for both saltwater and freshwater, and its target species include bass, trout, redfish and common snook. A single light head like this suits finesse jigging when a lure that stays close to the bottom is needed.
