Description

The brainchild of South Carolina seatrout fishing gurus Ralph Phillips and Dave Fladd, the Trout Eye® Jighead is the ideal jighead for inshore saltwater fishing. Scientific research has shown that gamefish key in on the eye of a baitfish and that a visible eye is a critical determining factor in their decision whether or not to strike. Built with the largest eye possible for this jig size, the Trout Eye® Jighead allows inshore anglers to capitalize on gamefish's instinctive feeding habits. Perfectly balanced for use with a variety of soft plastic bait styles, Trout Eye® Jigheads feature dual, super-sharp keeper spikes that hold even 10X Tough ElaZtech® plastics securely. A compact but super strong 2/0 Mustad® hook provides the backbone for these USA-sculpted jigs and allows these heads to match perfectly with the most popular ElaZtech baits available, including the 3” MinnowZ™, 4” DieZel MinnowZ™, 4” Scented Jerk ShadZ™, 4” Scented PaddlerZ™, StreakZ Curly TailZ™, TroutTrick®, Swimmin’ TroutTrick®, and more!
