Daiwa Bait Junkie Jighead 3/8oz
Product Description
The Daiwa Bait Junkie Jigheads represent the culmination of a two and a half year development project, meticulously designed in collaboration with Daiwa Australia's product development team and seasoned Daiwa angler Kris Hickson. Extensively field tested, these innovative jigheads introduce a unique feature set that elevates performance in a crucial, yet often overlooked, fishing tackle category.
At the core of the Bait Junkie Jigheads are premium BKK hooks, enhanced with Daiwa's innovative SaqSas hook coating. This super-slippery, Teflon-like coating significantly boosts the penetrating power of the hook point, resulting in a superior hook-up ratio. Constructed with a 2X strong BKK heavy wire, these Daiwa jigheads are available in a variety of weights and sizes, making them suitable for a wide array of both saltwater and freshwater fishing applications.
A standout feature is the truly unique bait keeper, a design perfected over 18 months and through more than 25 different prototypes. The primary objective was to engineer a jighead bait keeper that performs exceptionally well with Daiwa's stretchy ELASTOMAX soft plastics. This advanced design effectively prevents your soft bait from slipping down over the keeper and balling up into a tangled mess, ensuring optimal presentation and longevity.
The head design of the Bait Junkie Jighead features a predominantly cylinder shape with a flat back, ensuring optimal and clean rigging. It also incorporates a flattened 'chin' which, when paired with Daiwa's buoyant ELASTOMAX material, promotes a desirable 'tail-up' posture when your bait settles on the bottom. This innovative design maintains an enticing presentation, even in challenging hard-bottom situations where traditional bullet-shaped heads might fail.
The thoughtful design extends to the packaging, offering both convenience and a long-term storage solution. Daiwa Bait Junkie Jigheads are supplied in a resealable zip-lock bag, ideal for keeping new jigheads protected from moisture and rust that can often affect hooks in wet tackle boxes. Furthermore, the weight and size sticker is easily removable and can be re-attached to a tackle box or storage tray, simplifying identification when you are carrying multiple jigheads in your boat or fishing bag.

- Durable Construction: 2X strong BKK heavy wire for robust performance.
