Bait Junkie Jig Heads – Precision, Performance, and Durability

After two and a half years of development, Bait Junkie Jig Heads are here. Created in collaboration between Daiwa Australia’s product development team, long-time Daiwa angler Kris Hickson, and renowned lure maker Dan Stead, these jig heads elevate performance in a category often overlooked.

The foundation of Bait Junkie Jig Heads lies in quality BKK hooks, featuring Daiwa’s SaqSas coating – a super-slippery Teflon-like coating that enhances hook penetration for a superior hookup ratio. Available in 2X strong heavy wire and 0X light wire options, they come in nearly 100 different shapes and sizes to suit your lure and fishing depth.

The standout feature is the unique bait keeper – developed over 18 months and 25 prototypes, it’s designed to work flawlessly with Daiwa’s stretchy Elastomax material, preventing your plastic from slipping down and tangling.

The head design features a cylinder shape with a flat back for smooth rigging, and a flattened ‘chin’ for a natural ‘tail-up’ posture, even on hard bottoms. This design, paired with Elastomax material, ensures that your bait rests naturally on the bottom.

Each pack is resealable for easy storage, preventing rust and ensuring your jig heads stay in perfect condition. The removable sticker makes organization a breeze, whether in your tackle box, boat, or bag.
