Z-Man TEFH18-01PK3 Trout Eye Finesse Jigheads 1/8 oz Red 3 Pack

Featuring the same design and head shape as the standard Trout Eye Jig heads, the finesse version sports a smaller, yet equally strong, 1/0 Mustad® UltraPoint® hook that matches up perfectly with smaller ElaZtech baits like the Slim SwimZ and StreakZ 3.75. Strong enough to do battle with saltwater gamefish like redfish, seatrout, and snook, the Trout Eye Finesse is a great choice for ‘matching the hatch’ when smaller forage abounds. For serious smallmouth anglers, the Trout Eye Finesse is ideal for vertical ‘Damiki Rig’ applications when paired with ElaZtech or conventional plastics.
