Crappie Magnet Double Cross Heads 5ct 1/16oz Orange

The Crappie Magnet Double Cross Heads 5ct 1/16oz Orange jig heads are purpose-built for crappie anglers who want a compact, realistic presentation. At 1/16 ounce with a size 2 Mustad hook, these heads deliver a minnow-profile silhouette that works especially well in clear water where crappie can inspect your offering closely. They're also useful in faster current, where the light weight still allows natural bait placement without heavy sinkers dragging bottom.

What sets these jig heads apart is the Double Cross side-barb design. Rather than a simple collar, dual barbs lock your plastic body or live bait in place so you can stay on a fish longer without the bait sliding or spinning loose. The barbs don't interfere with hook clearance, so you still get a clean hook set and solid penetration on the bite.

The scent-retention feature is another practical touch: the eye hole accepts liquid scent, trapping it in place so you're not wasting expensive scent on the first cast. One application of quality scent—Crappie Magnet recommends their Slab Bites formula—can stay on through multiple fish, making these heads economical for a full day on the water. The hooks themselves are Mustad's UltraPoint design, sharpened and hard-tempered to resist dulling and hold a point through repeated casts and hook-ups.

This five-pack in orange is a compact option for light-tackle crappie fishing, slip-bobber rigs, or vertical jigging over structure. Keep a pack in your tackle box for clear-water spring and fall runs, or when you need a subtle presentation that doesn't rely on size or flash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size hook comes on the 1/16oz Crappie Magnet Double Cross heads?

These jig heads feature a size 2 Mustad hook with UltraPoint technology. The hook is sized to match the 1/16 ounce weight for balanced feel and presentation.

Can I use my own scent with these jig heads?

Yes. The eye hole accepts any liquid scent. Crappie Magnet recommends their Slab Bites formula because it lasts longer than many competitors, but you can use the scent of your choice. A single application can last through multiple fish.

Will plastic bodies stay on the Double Cross barbs?

The side-barb design is specifically engineered to hold soft plastic bodies and live bait securely without slipping or rotating. The barbs don't interfere with the hook gap, so you maintain full hook penetration when a crappie strikes.

When should I use 1/16oz jig heads instead of heavier weights?

The 1/16 ounce size works best in clear water where a subtle, light presentation is an advantage, and in situations where you want natural fall rates. They're also well-suited for slip-bobber rigs and vertical jigging over shallow to mid-depth structure where heavier heads aren't necessary.
