Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head 3/16oz Black

The Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head in 3/16oz Black is purpose-built for anglers who want a reliable foundation for Ned rig presentations. This jig head combines a distinctive head geometry with proven hook design to give you a stable, upright stance in the water—crucial when you're trying to keep soft plastics in the strike zone where bass can actually see them. Whether you're working shallow grass, open bottom, or structure, the consistent head shape helps your lure present naturally without constant adjustment.

What sets this jig head apart is the attention to detail in its construction. The sickle-style hook is sharp and strong enough to convert bites into solid hooksets, while the integrated wire keeper holds your soft plastic securely in place through multiple casts and fish. The 3/16oz weight sits in that sweet spot for finesse fishing—heavy enough to cast on lighter tackle and reach depths without excessive delay, but light enough to let your plastic fall naturally and work in shallower water without dragging bottom.

Strike King's Tour Grade line reflects input from serious tournament anglers and guides who demand consistency and reliability when the bite matters. If you're building a Ned rig arsenal, starting with proven components like this jig head makes sense. The black finish works across a wide range of water clarity and light conditions, making it a versatile choice whether you're fishing clearwater lakes, stained rivers, or muddy channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight Ned jig head should I use for different depths?

The 3/16oz size works well for general-purpose Ned rig fishing in shallow to mid-depth water. For very shallow presentations or slower fall rates, lighter heads are available; for deeper water or moving current, heavier options exist. This weight is a solid all-around choice for most finesse scenarios.

Will this jig head work with any soft plastic lure?

The wire keeper is designed to secure soft plastics used in Ned rig presentations. Match the plastic size to the keeper design for best results and to keep your lure positioned correctly.

What's the advantage of the upright head shape?

The distinctive head geometry helps your soft plastic stand up naturally in the water, keeping it visible to bass and in the feeding zone longer. This is especially valuable when you're working areas where presentation angle affects strikes.
