Strike King Baby Squadron Swimbait Head 18oz 3ct Green Pumpkin

The Strike King Baby Squadron Swimbait Head is a compact jig head built for anglers working hollowbody swimbaits and soft plastics in shallow or confined spaces. At 18 ounces, these heads deliver enough weight to cast and work cover effectively while maintaining the natural swimming action that makes swimbait presentations so lethal. The 3-count pack gives you enough to rig multiple baits or keep backups rigged and ready. The green pumpkin finish blends naturally in stained water and vegetation-heavy areas where bass hunt.

The wide-gap, chemically sharpened black nickel hook is engineered for solid hook sets across a range of presentations. Whether you're rigging Strike King Shadalicious, Blade Minnow, Glass Minnow, RageTail Rage Grub, or any comparable hollowbody or soft-plastic swimbait, these heads adapt to your setup. The black nickel coating resists corrosion and maintains its bite through repeated casts and strikes, holding up in both freshwater and transition conditions.

Baby Squadron heads are ideal for anglers targeting active feeders in shallow flats, around downed timber, or in grass edges where you need a compact profile. The wide gap accommodates rigging methods for both internal and external configurations, giving you flexibility to match your presentation style to water conditions and target fish mood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What swimbaits work with the Baby Squadron Swimbait Head?
