The Fish On! 1/8 oz jig head is built for shallow water inshore fishing. Whether you're working grass flats, shallow docks, or calm backwater cuts, this lighter weight keeps your soft plastic in the strike zone without sinking too fast. Paired with a 3" or 3.25" paddle tail swimbait, it's a proven combination for speckled trout, flounder, and redfish in water under six feet.

Yes. The black nickel hook holds up well in inshore saltwater conditions. Rinse with fresh water after use to extend the life of the hook.
What color jig head should I use?
Red and chartreuse work great in murky or stained water. Silver and white are strong choices in clear conditions. Pink is a reliable all-around option, especially for redfish and trout.
