Jig Head

Jig heads are the top parts of lures known as jigs, used to catch a wide variety of predatory fish species. Jig heads may come by themselves, or as a complete package, usually with a skirt trailing the head and covering the hook. Usually, the hook extends down from the jig head as one piece. Jig heads are common among many types of swimming lures as well as plastic jig lures designed to fish along the bottom. Jig heads can be used to catch the small and elusive freshwater Bluegill to much larger fish such as the saltwater Tarpon, or Striped Bass and countless other species of fish.
