Anglers targeting striper, redfish, seabass and bass in inshore or offshore water who want a stainless steel jig head that resists saltwater corrosion and want a full 10 pack of 1 ounce heads on hand for a session.
Skip if
Anglers who only fish freshwater panfish or bass in light cover should skip this, since the 1 ounce heads and 10 pack size are built for saltwater species, not the finesse presentations covered by the smaller single packs from Strike or Z-MAN.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Working a jetty or a nearshore reef for striper, redfish or seabass means the terminal tackle takes a beating from salt, current and the occasional oyster bed. The Saltwater Fish Eye Swimbait Jighead answers that with a stainless steel head built to shrug off corrosion rather than a painted lead body that chips and rusts after a season.
Each pack holds 10 jig heads at 1 ounce apiece, sold in chartreuse, a color built for visibility in stained inshore water. At $16.99 for 10 pieces, that works out to under $1.70 per jig, more expensive per unit than the Strike TGSJ38-234 at $5.99 for a single 3/8 ounce piece or the Z-MAN 003341 at $9.96 for one 1/2 ounce jig, but those are freshwater-oriented single packs rather than a bulk saltwater set. The Trout 87699 kit undercuts it on price per piece at $22.99 for 150 pieces, though that kit is plastic and aimed at multi-species freshwater use rather than stainless construction for saltwater species.
With a 4.5 star average across 223 reviews and 50 or more buyers a month, the demand pattern is steady rather than explosive, but the rating holds up against the larger-volume competitors in this set. For anglers who specifically need stainless jig heads sized for striper, redfish and seabass, this pack fills that gap directly.
Pros
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than painted lead for saltwater use.
- 10 jig heads per pack at 1 ounce each, enough for a full session without re-rigging.
- Chartreuse color built for visibility in stained inshore water.
- 4.5 star rating across 223 reviews.
- Priced at $16.99 with steady demand of 50 or more buyers a month.
Cons
- At under $1.70 per jig, it costs more per unit than single-species packs like the Strike TGSJ38-234 at $5.99.
- 223 reviews is a smaller sample than the 1,808 reviews behind the Trout 87699 kit.
- One color option, chartreuse, with no alternative finishes listed.
- No line, hook or leader included beyond the jig heads themselves.
- Bought last month figure of 50+ is lower than the 400+ seen on some competing jigs.

Performance notes
The 1 ounce weight per jig head puts this squarely in casting range for inshore structure and light current, heavy enough to get a swimbait down past the surface chop without needing extra split shot. Stainless steel construction matters most here: painted lead heads chip with repeated casts against rock or oyster shell, and once the paint goes the lead underneath starts to corrode in saltwater. A stainless body keeps that from happening to the hook and head itself, though any painted eyes or finish detail can still wear.
Chartreuse is a single-color choice, which simplifies buying but means anglers wanting a natural profile or a low-light color for seabass or redfish would need to buy separately. Ten heads per pack is enough to survive a day or two of bottom contact and occasional snags without running out mid-trip, and the $16.99 price keeps that resupply affordable compared to buying single jigs one at a time.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 223 reviews puts this jig head in line with the Strike TGSJ38-234 (4.5 stars, 283 reviews) and just under the Z-MAN 003341 (4.7 stars, 439 reviews) and Trout 87699 (4.6 stars, 1,808 reviews). The review count sits on the smaller end of this group, suggesting a newer or more niche listing rather than an established bestseller. At 50 or more purchases a month, demand is real but modest next to the 400+ monthly figure behind the Trout 87699. That combination, a solid rating with a smaller but consistent buyer base, points to a product that satisfies the anglers who find it without yet reaching the volume of the category leaders.
