TSUYOKI Weedless Swimbait Jig Head, Minnow Style Bass Jig
This jig head is built to carry soft plastic minnow and shad bodies through cover without hanging up. The wide-gap hook rides point-up and tucks against the head, so you can work it through grass, laydowns, and dock pilings with confidence. The molded head shape and belly-weighted design keep the bait swimming true on the fall and during a steady retrieve.
Available in 5g to 40g options, it covers everything from finesse presentations in shallow cover to bottom-bumping around deeper structure. Pair it with a paddle tail or minnow-style soft plastic and use it as a search bait for largemouth, or slow it down for smallmouth holding near rock and drop-offs.

How to fish it
- Rig a paddle tail or minnow-style soft plastic straight on the hook so the body sits flush against the head.
- Cast to cover and let the bait sink on a semi-slack line to keep the fall natural.
- Retrieve with a steady swim or slow-roll, pausing near cover to let the jig flutter down.
- Work the heavier sizes along bottom contours and the lighter sizes through shallow grass and wood.
Frequently asked
Use lighter weights like 5g or 10g in shallow grass and around docks, and step up to 15g or higher for deeper water or when you need to punch through heavier cover.
Yes. Brighter heads like pink or chartreuse show up better in stained water, while natural or dark heads blend in better under clear conditions.
A medium-heavy casting or spinning rod with 12 to 20 pound fluorocarbon or braid gives you enough backbone to pull bass out of cover once hooked.
Yes. The weedless design suits largemouth around vegetation and wood, while lighter weights work well for smallmouth around rock and gravel bottoms.
