Quick take
A 1/2 oz swimbait jig head designed to nest soft swimbaits with 3D eyes and a flared gill collar.
The VMC SBJ12 swimbait jig head is a 1/2 oz jig for fishing swimbaits, sold as a two-pack in white. Each jig has a 5/0 hook of high-carbon steel with a forged shank, and a double wire keeper holds the soft bait in place. A concave head with 3D eyes lets a swimbait nest up snug against it, which suits anglers who want a natural minnow profile.
