Quick take
1/16 oz half-head jigs with baitkeeper cones and ultra-sharp hooks, sized for ned-rigging with small soft plastics.
This is a pack of eight Berkley Half Head jig heads in black, each weighing 1/16 ounce. The semi-spherical head and bait-keeper cones on the shank hold soft plastics in place, which suits ned-rig presentations for bass. A paint-free hook eye makes tying on line quick.
Best for
- Ned-rigging wacky worms and finesse plastics
- Smallmouth bass in finesse situations
- Light line presentations in clear water
Skip if
- You prefer football jigs or round heads
- You are fishing heavy cover or large swimbaits
Strengths
- Baitkeeper cones stabilize small soft plastics during retrieves
- Half-ball head design aids horizontal fall
- Paint-free hook eyes reduce connection issues
Trade-offs
- Very light weight requires sensitive rod and light line
- Limited to small soft plastics
- Designed specifically for ned-rigging, less versatile than round heads
