Quick take
Horizontal jig head sized for panfish and trout, designed to hold soft plastics without wobbling.
The Gamakatsu Horizontal Head is a shaky head jig built on a #1 hook with a knife edge point, and it weighs 3.5 grams, or about 0.1 ounce. Its head is shaped to hold a soft plastic worm in a horizontal posture as it falls and swims, a setup that suits anglers working predatory fish with light presentations. A double cone keeper helps the worm stay on the hook, and the hook carries a Nano Alpha surface finish. Each pack includes four black heads.
