Jig hooks and jig heads: Ball jig heads
The round head is the all-round jig head, and it comes in four builds, each its own page: original (exposed hook), weedless (a guard over the point), swing (the head hinged to the hook) and Texas-rigged (the head on an offset hook). Two things every ball head is chosen by, whatever the build:
Eyes or no eyes
| Head | What it does | When |
|---|---|---|
| Plain (no eyes) | Cheapest, smallest, nothing to snag; the bait's colour does the work | Ned-style and finesse fishing, dark water, when the head should disappear |
| With fish eyes | A painted or moulded 3-D eye gives the bait a head and a target; predators strike at the eye | Clear water, swimming baits, minnow imitations |
How the head holds the bait
| Keeper | How it works | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Moulded bump / collar | A lead collar behind the head wedges into the plastic | Gentle on the bait; slips on soft plastics |
| Spring / screw | A coil at the head screws into the bait's nose | Holds best, reusable bait; needs a firm bait |
| Barb on the shank, pointing up | A barb cut on the top of the shank digs into the bait from the eye side | Holds bulky baits; the cut weakens the shank a little |
| Barb pointing down | A barb on the underside of the shank | Same, sits inside the belly of the bait |
| Wire keeper | A short wire bound to the shank | Holds without cutting the shank |
The 90° threading trick. A shank barb tears the plastic as it goes in, and once the channel is torn the barb has nothing to grip. So thread the bait with the hook turned 90° to its final position: the barb passes through untouched plastic. When the bait reaches the head, turn it back 90° into line. The barb now presses against solid plastic that was never cut, and it reinforces the bait instead of tearing it.
A ball head is the least stable at rest: it rolls onto its side. When the bait must sit still, use a stand-up or football head. Top-heavy round heads built for strolling are their own class (Strolling jigs).
