Screw-in heads are a popular choice for predator anglers fishing large softbaits. Instead of using a traditional jig head, the lure is fixed with a strong spiral that screws into the head of the bait. This creates a secure hold and helps your softbait last longer, even when fishing for pike and other hard-hitting predators.
Why use screw-in heads?
The main advantage is flexibility. Because the weight is separate from the hook system, you can easily adjust the weight and hook layout. This makes screw-in heads ideal for stinger rigs, allowing you to position the hooks exactly where you need them for better hook-ups.
Perfect for large softbaits
Whether you fish shads, swimbaits or other larger lures, screw-in heads help maintain a natural swimming action. Choose lighter weights for shallow water or heavier versions when you need to reach depth quickly.
