Strike King Football Shaky Head 3/16oz Unpainted

The Strike King Football Shaky Head 3/16oz Unpainted is a versatile jig head built to handle hard-bottom cover and rocky terrain where bass hang tight. This football-shaped head design rides stable over uneven bottom and allows your soft plastic to shake and crawl naturally, mimicking crawfish and other bottom-dwelling prey that trigger strikes. The unpainted finish gives you flexibility to match local forage or experiment with different plastics without worrying about the head's appearance clashing with your presentation.

What sets this shaky head apart is the oversized barb designed to lock your plastic firmly in place through repeated casts and fish hookups. Whether you're working a structure-heavy lake or grinding shallow hard cover, the secure plastic grip means you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging. The 3/16oz weight balances castability with stability on the bottom, making it effective for anglers who want a manageable presentation without excessive tackle box bulk.

Strike King built this jig head with the practical angler in mind—no frills, no paint to chip off, just a straightforward tool for shallow and mid-depth hard-cover fishing. Pair it with your preferred shaky head plastics and you've got a reliable setup for bass, smallmouth, and other species that respond to a slow, dragging retrieve across rock, shell, and hard clay.
