Buckeye The Shocker Swimbait Head 5/16 oz Pearl 3pk.

The Buckeye The Shocker Swimbait Head is a refined jig head designed to anchor soft plastic swimbaits during freshwater and saltwater fishing. This 5/16 oz Pearl swimbait head comes in a 3-pack and delivers the secure bait retention and natural presentation that bass, pike, and other predatory fish won't refuse. The updated keeper design grips and holds soft plastic baits of all styles firmly in place—no more bait spinning or sliding during the cast and retrieve. Built with a Mustad 4/0 hook, you're getting premium hook quality that Buckeye has become known for, so you can focus on fishing rather than worrying about bend-outs or dull points.

Pearl is one of Buckeye's pro-prescribed color options, selected to match the most popular natural swimbait profiles and mimic the look of real forage. The head also features engraved gills for added realism and detail that convinces wary fish. A stamped weight marking on the head takes the guesswork out of rigging and lets you match your head to your rod, reel, and target species with confidence.

Whether you're working shallow flats, deeper structure, or open water, this swimbait head pairs well with soft plastics in the 3- to 5-inch range and is versatile enough for both slow, methodical presentations and faster retrieves. The 5/16 oz weight hits the sweet spot for moderate casting distance and controlled descent in typical freshwater conditions.
