#771763 - 07/10/12 05:04 PM Tuna Swimbait Heads - The only batch for 2012

Getting ready to do my annual grande batch of swimbait heads. This is the only batch I am going to do this year...getting these hooks and installing the eyes is a PITA.

Several folks asked about them last year and I was already out. This is your chance.

I only have 5 dozen 5/0 available as of typing this, I'll update as things change.
5/0 (1 or 1.5 oz.) = $2.10 ea.

Shipping in a flat rate USPS Priority box $6.

Hooks are Owner XXX Saltwater sharpasshitmakeyoubleedjustbylookingatthem. I've never bent one out.
Eyes are 3D (red or super prism), installed into recessed pockets and super glued. It is rare if one gets chewed or scraped out.

Several PP members can attest to the quality of these heads; His Holiness, Reverend Dr. Parker, esteemed international pescador stam, (not a Mod) Todd, A to the P rep'n Kaiser D... et al.

I'm pouring next week. I'm posting these now to give you a chance to specify EXACTLY how you want them, wait until next week and you get how I pour them smile

I can 100% confirm that these are the most badass, coolest, most awesome swim bait heads you'll ever find or get.

Glad I have a stash.

Simply outstanding stuff, Twitch!

Those look really nice. Can't wait to hit some tuna.


They bring up memory's of packaging up countless jig heads and Big Hammer swim baits. Made me appreciate painting and building salmon flashers.

Those jigheads suck bad...don't buy them!

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Twitch, when you can't sell them because they work so poorly, I'll take them all at half price. Please get them to me before mid-August, which is when my first tuna trip is scheduled this year wink

So give me the dope on the bodies, you guys.

I've only been out for tuna a couple times, so I need to get up to speed on what kind of bodies I should be using on these heads.

I'm so looking forward to killing some tuna here pretty soon.

Dan,

*Popular brands are Fish Traps, Big Hammer, Berkley Gulp,etc.
*Match 4" -5" bodies to heads of 1-1.5oz, hooks 5/0; 6" to heads of 2-2.5oz., hooks 7/0
*Contrasting colro patterns are good; dark back/light body, blues & blacks over glitter & pearl, black back over purple body is a producer too.
*Carry Sharpies to custom color the bodies on the water; red for a 'bloody' belly, black to add a dark back to a light body, etc.
*Carry super glue to mend torn bodies. If a body gets chewed up, take it off, dab some glue in the tears, let it sit for a minute, then you're good to go.
*Place a drop of super glue on the back of the lead head, then slide the body on and squish it up against the glue on the head. This will keep bodies from slipping down the hook. Don't use too much or it will be hard to change bodies on heads.
