Missile Head Banger Jig 1/2oz Candy Grass
The Missile Head Banger Jig in 1/2oz Candy Grass is a casting jig built for anglers who want to fish heavy cover without apology. Its distinctive triangular head design is engineered to deflect off rocks and irregular bottom structure—the kind of terrain where bass hide and conventional jigs hang up. Pair it with a soft plastic trailer and you've got a compact, efficient lure that punches through cover and stays in the zone where fish live.
What sets this jig apart is the combination of purposeful design details. The molded weedguard keeps the jig relatively snag-free as it works through dense cover, while the cone-shaped bait keeper holds your trailer steady through repeated casts and aggressive retrieves. You're not fighting the jig; you're working with it. The 5/0 VMC hook is sharp and sturdy—sized to set reliably and handle the fish that crush a jig in tight spots.
The Candy Grass color is a versatile choice for clear to moderately stained water, mimicking natural forage and blending well with most environments. This is a jig for serious cover fishing—the kind where you're grinding out bites in brush piles, rocky banks, and grass edges. One jig per pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cover is the Head Banger Jig designed for?
The triangular head and weedguard make this jig well-suited for rocky areas, brush piles, grass edges, and other heavy cover where a standard round jig head would hang up frequently.
Can I use any trailer with this jig?
Yes. The cone-shaped bait keeper is designed to hold soft plastic trailers securely, so you can pair this jig with crawfish imitations, creature baits, or other plastics that match your target fish and water conditions.
Is the hook sharp out of the box?
The 5/0 VMC hook is factory-sharp, but as with any new jig, a quick touch-up on a hook stone before your first cast is always a good practice for confidence and hook-up rate.
