Jig hooks and jig heads: Darter heads
A swimbait head of a special kind: an arrowhead or cone-shaped head that darts sideways when the rod is jerked and cuts through current. It pairs with its own baits (straight and ripper worms, small tubes) rather than paddle tails.

Jig hooks and jig heads
Hooks whose shank bends at the eye so a head can be poured on: the bare jig hook, and weighted jig heads for soft plastics classified by head shape and build (ball in four builds, strolling jigs by mechanism, football, swing, stand-up, Ned in four builds, shaky, darter, swimbait, underspin, tube, weedless, grass), because each fishes differently; and the skirted jig itself, by head shape (casting, flipping, football, swim, finesse, punch).
