Quick take
Standup jig heads with 2x strong Mustad hooks, designed to hold bait above rocky bottom for tog and sheepshead.
Sold as a 5-pack of 2 oz orange jig heads, this one is made for tautog and other bottom-fish that hold around rocks and pilings. Its narrow, lima-bean-style body suits shallow rubble, where it slips past obstacles more easily. Anglers can move to the lightest weight that still reaches bottom as tide and depth change.
Best for
- Tog fishing in rocky pilings and rubble areas
- Sheepshead around hard structure
- Fishing with shrimp or cut bait in strong current
Skip if
- You fish soft bottoms
- You need ultralight rigs
Strengths
- 2x strong Mustad hook penetrates hard mouths reliably
- Powder coating resists rust in saltwater
- Multiple sizes suit different depths and current
Trade-offs
- Heavier heads are tiring to cast repeatedly
- Standing presentation may flip in severe turbulence
- Limited bait-holding surfaces on smaller sizes

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
