Football Barbless Jig Head

The football-shaped head is more elongated and promotes lure rolling. It also provides a stable bottom placement. Consequently, this shape is ideal for scraping techniques or slow animations over uneven bottoms.

Gliding Barbless Jig Head

The gliding, or darter, head has a triangular shape. This makes the lure swim erratically with small rod twitches. This technique is very effective for tempting wary trout. It also triggers bites in cold water or when fish activity is low.
