Bass anglers fishing Ned rigs around grass, brush, or other snag-prone cover who want a weedless head with a molded bait keeper to hold soft plastics in place through repeated casts.

Skip this if you target species other than bass, since this pack is listed specifically for that fish. Anglers who want a single heavy jig for deep structure rather than a light, snag-resistant Ned rig head should also pass.

Overview
Fishing a Ned rig through submerged grass or brush usually means losing a jig head or two to weeds before the day is done, which is exactly the problem a weedless design is built to solve. This 20-pack pairs high carbon and stainless steel construction with a molded bait keeper, in a natural color, for $11.99, aimed squarely at bass.
At roughly sixty cents per head across twenty pieces, this pack costs less per unit than any single-piece jig in this comparison, including the Strike TGSJ38-234 at $5.99 for one piece or the Z-MAN 003341 at $9.96 for one. The tradeoff is specialization. Where the Trout 87699 and Strike TGSJ38-234 are built for multiple species, this head is listed for bass specifically, and its J-hook and weedless design point toward finesse fishing around cover rather than open water trolling or heavier jigging.
The 4.5-star rating across 126 reviews sits between the Strike TGSJ38-234's 283 reviews and the smaller review counts elsewhere in this set, while trailing the Trout 87699's 1,808. Still, 300+ units bought last month matches the pace of the Trout 87699 and outpaces the Strike and Z-MAN options, pointing to strong current demand for a bass-specific, snag-resistant design.
Pros
- Twenty jig heads for $11.99 works out to about sixty cents each, the lowest per-unit cost in this comparison.
- Weedless design paired with a molded bait keeper targets snag-prone cover where standard jig heads get lost.
- 4.5-star rating across 126 reviews gives a moderate but meaningful sample size to judge against.
- 300+ units bought last month matches the demand pace of the higher-priced Trout 87699.
- Stainless steel and high carbon steel construction combines corrosion resistance with hook stiffness.
- Built specifically for bass, giving a clear match to anglers targeting that species around cover.
Cons
- Listed for bass only, unlike multi-species options such as the Trout 87699 or Strike TGSJ38-234.
- 126 reviews is well behind the Trout 87699's 1,808, leaving a smaller track record overall.
- A basic J-hook is a simpler geometry than the needle point hook on the Z-MAN 003341.
- Weedless designs can occasionally miss hooksets in open water where snag resistance is not needed.
- Natural is the only color listed, limiting pattern choice compared to multi-color kits like the Trout 87699.

Performance notes
The molded bait keeper is built to hold a soft plastic in place through repeated casts, which matters most on a Ned rig where the bait rides low and slow along the bottom. A weedless profile on the head reduces snags in grass or brush, letting the rig work through cover where an exposed hook point would catch on structure instead of fish. The mix of high carbon steel and stainless steel gives the hook stiffness for a solid hookset while resisting corrosion better than plain carbon steel alone, which matters over repeated trips in and out of the water. At twenty pieces per pack, the head count supports a full session of bottom-dragging around cover where losing a head to a snag is part of the routine rather than the exception.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 126 reviews is a reasonably solid sample, ahead of the smaller review counts in this comparison though still well behind the Trout 87699's 1,808. That gap suggests this is an established but not yet dominant listing within the category. The 300+ units bought last month is a meaningful figure, matching the pace of the highest-volume product in this set and clearing the Strike and Z-MAN options at 100+ each. Together, a steady rating alongside strong recent purchase volume reads as a well-liked, actively bought product rather than a slow mover.

Frequently asked questions
What does a weedless jig head with a bait keeper do?
The weedless design shields the hook point so the head can move through grass and brush without snagging, while the molded bait keeper holds a soft plastic body in place through repeated casts. Together they suit Ned rig fishing around cover where standard jig heads get lost easily.
Is this pack suited to species other than bass?
The listing specifies bass as the target species. Anglers fishing for other species with a Ned rig style presentation may still find the weedless design useful, but the facts provided only confirm bass as the intended target for this specific pack.
How does the per-head cost compare to other jig heads?
At $11.99 for twenty pieces, this pack works out to about sixty cents per head, cheaper per unit than single-piece jigs like the Strike TGSJ38-234 at $5.99 or the Z-MAN 003341 at $9.96, making it an economical choice for anglers who lose heads to snags often.
