Quick take
A finesse jig head with a centering pin that locks soft plastics in place by twisting them onto the spring.
This 1/4 oz shaky head pairs a 4/0 light-wire round-bend hook with a molded TwistLOCK coil spring. You thread a finesse soft plastic onto the spring by its nose, so it stays centered on the hook. It suits bass anglers who fish worms and small finesse baits nose-down near the bottom.
