    Default 1/8 Oz SwimJigs?

    Since I'm using lighter line I'd like to know where I can get jigheads this light..


    the lightest I can find is quarter-oz, and even that is too heavy for me X(

    Way too far from me. I dont want tiny jigheads, I want a 1/0 skirted jighead. I found a lightweight jighead, but it's way too light for the harbor.

    These will break the bank, but they are super finesse jigheads. I know they're not swimjigs but they should work.

    Keitech makes the swim jig version. They're the Type III.

    I know a few JDM manufacturers make them too, just have to do a bit of research to find 'em.

    BUT, even though the jig is 1/8 ounce, if you plan on using any type of trailer, you'll be increasing the weight big time.

    that's exactly what I want. The only trailer I plan on using is brush hogs.

    Damn straight. I've been getting nice ones, but I need to up the ante and increase the bait profile a tad bit.

    Do those work with spotties? Never had any luck with those or spinners, but everyone says they work.

    Not a problem.

    ONE thing tho...

    Those Keitech swim jigs have a plastic bait holder hanging from front of the bait where you can screw in your trailer.

    Now, don't know if I was just lucky, but my first cast with one of those baits, I managed a fish, but it managed to break the plastic bait holder completely, rendering the bait pretty much useless.

    Just an FYI, especially if you're going after those Spotties, since they can be kinda vicious with their strikes.
