Jig hooks and jig heads: Bare jig hooks
Every other hook on this page starts here: a jig hook is a hook whose shank bends at the eye so a head can be poured onto it. Put a round head on it and it is a ball head; a mushroom, a Ned head; a football, a football head; hinge the head to it and it is a swing head. Bare, it is what you pour your own heads on or tie hair jigs on.
| Eye angle | Where the eye sits | What it becomes | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90° | On top of the head | Ball, football, mushroom (Ned), stand-up, tube and darter heads; vertical jigging, hopping | Mustad 32786, Victory 10777, Eagle Claw 570, Mustad 32746 |
| 60° | At the front of the head | Flipping and casting jigs, some swim heads; swims and bounces, snags less | Mustad 32798 (flat eye), Mustad 32833 |
| 30°–0° | At the nose | Swim jigs, grass jigs, bladed jigs | – |
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|

| Sizes | #6–5/0; bass jigs 3/0–5/0 |
