Z-Man SMH Jigheads 1/4 3ct Black
Z-Man SMH jigheads are finesse-rigged soft plastics built for anglers who want a dialed-in shaky-head setup. Designed by pro angler Brian 'B.Lat' Latimer, these 1/4-ounce jigheads pair seamlessly with Z-Man's SMH WormZ to deliver a compact, efficient combo that excels on pressured fish and light-cover presentations. The streamlined head profile cuts through water cleanly, while the recessed hook eye keeps your plastics in position and your rig looking natural in the water.
The 4/0 custom needlepoint hook is honed sharp for solid hooksets on soft-mouthed panfish and smallmouth, and the welded wire keeper locks your soft plastic in place without damaging it—no more sliding baits mid-cast or after a few fish. Black finish blends with most water conditions and pairs well with natural and dark-colored worms. With three heads per pack, you've got backups for when snags claim the first one or two, so you can keep fishing instead of retying.
Shaky-head fishing rewards patience and precision: cast near cover, settle on the bottom, and work the jig with subtle rod tip twitches. It's a technique that produces results on days when other setups fall flat, especially in clear water or when fish are finicky. These jigheads make the approach simple and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
What soft plastics work best with these SMH jigheads?
Z-Man SMH WormZ are purpose-designed to pair with these jigheads, but the recessed hook eye and wire keeper will accommodate most finesse-rigged soft plastics in the 3- to 4-inch range.
Are these jigheads good for smallmouth bass?
Yes. The 4/0 needlepoint hook and 1/4-ounce weight are well-suited to smallmouth finesse fishing, especially in clear water or around light cover where subtle presentations pay off.
What's the difference between the hook keeper and other styles?
The welded wire keeper is designed to grip your soft plastic securely without tearing or damaging it. This keeps your bait in place longer and reduces the need to rebait frequently.
How many jigheads come in this pack?
Each pack contains three jigheads, giving you extras in case you lose one to a snag or want to rig multiple rods at once.
