Saltwater Ball Fishing Jig

Saltwater Ball Jig. This saltwater ball jig is the perfect complement for most any soft plastic tail you may care to dress it with, including shads. If there was only one saltwater jig head shape you had to limit yourself to, or one jig shape that does swell in general in any saltwater situation, this center-balanced ball head is it.  Do give it a try.

The eye placement is what's called "center-balanced" and that allows the jig head to develop a more lively and responsive action than if the eye was positioned in a "forward balance" point.

When fishing with these jig heads, it may help to carefully use a small drop of super glue or Zap A Gap on the jig collar before pushing the soft plastic tail into place. This will prevent the tail from falling down (fish don't like that) and helps prolong the overall life of the tail.

Mustad 91715D Hook. O'Shaughnessy. Forged. Extra Long Shank. Heavy Duty. Duratin. I think this is one of the best saltwater jig hook that's ever been made. The other is Mustad's 34184D. Really the only difference is the 34184 is a long shank whereas the 91715 is extra long. Both are exceptional saltwater jig hooks. In recent years, more and more round bend jig hooks like used for freshwater largemouth bass are being used in saltwater. Largemouth tend to hold onto jigs a long time, and round bends are good for that.  However, saltwater fish tend to be strikers, and the heavy duty, extra long shank O'Shaughnessy bend is absolutely best for saltwater strikers.

The hook size is 3/0 extra long.
