Strike King Baby Squadron Swimbait Head 18oz 3ct Unpainted

The Strike King Baby Squadron swimbait head is a compact 18-ounce jig head engineered for anglers who want a reliable foundation for small- to medium-sized swimbait presentations. This three-pack of unpainted heads gives you a blank canvas to match your local forage or pair with your existing swimbait collection. Built with a wide-gap design and chemically sharpened black nickel hook, these heads combine durability with a sharp bite—essential when you're fishing hollow-body swimbaits, grubs, and soft-plastic tails that demand consistent hook penetration.

Unpainted heads offer flexibility for DIY customization or quick rigging when you're focused on matching hatch rather than aesthetics. Whether you're working internal or external rigging setups, the Baby Squadron's design accommodates both approaches, making it a versatile choice for bass, pike, walleye, and other predators that eat smaller forage. The black nickel finish resists corrosion in freshwater and holds up through multiple trips without degradation.

This is gear for anglers who value function over frills—three quality heads at a price that won't make you hesitant to retie or refresh your swimbait boxes when conditions demand it. Stock these as backup heads or as the foundation for custom rigging when factory-painted options don't match your water or season.

Frequently Asked Questions
