The Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head in 1/16oz is a light-bite finesse option built for anglers targeting bass on soft plastics in shallow water, grass, and structure. This Ned rig jig head pairs a carefully engineered head shape with a sickle-style hook and wire keeper, delivering the stability and hook-up reliability that tournament anglers depend on. Whether you're fishing clear lakes, creeks, or ponds where fish see a lot of pressure, a smaller jig head on a quality Ned presentation can be the difference between a quiet day and a limit.
The black finish works across a range of water conditions and pairs well with natural soft-plastic trailers. At 1/16oz, this head is light enough for shallow presentations and skittering along the bottom without snagging as readily as heavier versions, making it ideal for finesse situations where a more delicate approach triggers strikes. The sickle hook shape is designed for solid penetration and reduced missed fish—critical when every bite matters.
Strike King's Tour Grade line reflects input from professional anglers, so the design priorities are proven in real tournament conditions rather than guesswork. If you're building Ned rig kits or stocking lighter jig heads for shallow-water bass, this is a no-fuss choice that performs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ned rig and what does this jig head do?
A Ned rig pairs a light jig head with a small soft-plastic trailer for finesse bass fishing. The Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head's design allows the lure to stand upright on the bottom and move naturally, enticing bites from pressured or inactive fish in shallow cover.
When should I use a 1/16oz jig head?
The 1/16oz weight is ideal for shallow water, light cover, and situations where you need a slow, subtle presentation. It's especially useful in clear water or around vegetation where a heavier jig might spook fish or hang up too easily.
What's the wire keeper for?
The wire keeper prevents your soft-plastic trailer from sliding down the hook shank during casting or retrieval, keeping your rig in the correct position and lasting longer through multiple fish.
Can I use this with any soft-plastic trailer?
Yes, the wire keeper will work with most soft plastics in the appropriate size range. Choose trailers that match the 1/16oz head weight for balanced, natural movement on the bottom.
