It may not officially be summer just yet but the sun is still brutal without protection – stop by the shop and grab some sunscreen before going out on the beach!

We also have plenty of options for bug spray if you need that as well. Our newest addition is the Morning Wood Company’s Skeeter Beater – an all natural and organic mosquito/insect repellent.

Z-Man Texas Eye Jig heads

Melding a weedless Texas rig with a free-pivoting jighead and the prominent strike target of oversized 3D eyes, the Texas Eye Jighead gives anglers an unbeatable one-two punch. Designed to easily shed grass and prevent fouling or snagging on wood, rock, or shell, the flat sided head and upturned line tie eyelet creates a stable jighead with a spoon-like swimming quality when paired with either paddle-tail swimbaits or straight-tail baits. The Texas Eye Jighead features beefy construction that makes it ideal for a variety of applications that require a snag-resistant presentation in fresh- or saltwater, from pitching baits to laydowns for trophy largemouth to plying the Louisiana marsh for bull redfish.

  • Swinging hook design allows for maximum bait action and easy weedless rigging
  • Vivid, oversized 3D eyes present a prominent target for gamefish
  • Molded bait keeper prevents baits from sliding down hook shank
  • Built with heavy-duty 3/0 VMC wide gap hooks
  • Sized to pair perfectly with popular MinnowZ™, DieZel MinnowZ™, and PaddlerZ™ soft plastics for a variety of fresh- and saltwater gamefish
