Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head Weedless 1/16oz Green Pump
The Strike King Tour Grade Ned Jig Head Weedless 1/16oz in Green Pump is a compact, finesse-focused jig head designed for anglers who want to work shallow cover and grass without constant hang-ups. This 1/16-ounce model pairs a distinctive head geometry with a sickle-style hook to keep your soft plastic bait standing upright on bottom—a critical advantage when you're trying to trigger bites in weedy areas or around vegetation where bass like to hide.
The weed guard on this Ned jig head does real work. That wire keeper holds your rigged plastic securely in place during casting and on the retrieve, while the weed guard design lets you fish thick cover with confidence. The Green Pump color is a proven pattern for sight-feeding bass in clear to moderately stained water, matching natural forage in vegetation-heavy zones.
Tour Grade construction reflects Strike King's attention to detail—these are the jig heads the pros trust when finesse presentations matter. At 1/16 ounce, this head is right-sized for light tackle, spinning reels, and situations where a slower drop and subtle action are exactly what finicky fish demand. Whether you're pitching into lily pads, fishing dock pilings, or working around submerged brush, the weedless design saves you time and keeps you in the water instead of picking weeds off your hook.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ned jig head and why use one?
