Z-Man SMH Jigheads 3/16 3ct Green Pumpkin
The Z-Man SMH Jigheads in 3/16 oz deliver finesse bass fishing in a compact, tungsten-heavy design that lets you work shallow cover and tight quarters with precision. Designed by Z-Man pro Brian 'B.Lat' Latimer, these shaky-head jigs pair naturally with soft plastics for a subtle presentation that triggers bites when bigger lures fail. Green pumpkin—a proven natural color across regions and seasons—rounds out this three-pack with versatility you'll reach for on spring spawn, post-spawn ledges, and anywhere finesse works better than force.
The engineering here matters. These jigs carry a custom 4/0 needlepoint hook—sharp and sized right for the bait match—plus a welded wire keeper to lock your plastic in place without slip or tear. The streamlined head shape cuts water cleanly and maintains contact with bottom and cover, while the recessed hook eye reduces snags and lets the lure sit naturally. That attention to detail separates a confidence lure from one you tolerate.
Whether you're fishing Alabama rivers, spotted bass reservoirs, or clear lakes where reaction fishing falls flat, the shaky-head delivers. The 3/16 oz weight sits in that sweet spot: light enough for dragging grass and shallow hardpan, heavy enough to cast accurately and maintain feel at distance. Three per pack keeps you armed with backups and color options without overbuying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What soft plastics work best with these SMH jigheads?
Z-Man designed these jigs to pair with the SMH WormZ, though any finesse worm or small creature bait in a compatible size will work. The welded keeper and recessed eye are engineered to hold soft plastics securely without tear or slip.
Are these jigheads good for shallow water fishing?
Yes. The 3/16 oz weight is specifically suited for shallow presentations—grass beds, flats, and light cover where a heavier jig would be overkill. The streamlined design helps you maintain contact and feel without getting hung up.
Why is green pumpkin a good color choice?
Green pumpkin is a natural, versatile color that works across seasons and water conditions. It's proven effective in clear to slightly stained water and matches local forage in many regions, making it a reliable confidence color when you're experimenting with shaky-head setups.
What comes in this pack?
Each pack contains three 3/16 oz jigheads in green pumpkin. The three-count gives you backup rigs and the option to tie multiple setups without running out mid-session.
