Just got around to opening my Bass Pro Shops order, thanks to a left over gift certificate :). I almost ordered some of the Owner Sled Heads, when I put my order in for the hooks for the upcoming MSBA show, but really wasn't sure if anyone would be interested. When I put my BPS order in, I noticed they were carrying them, so I ordered a pack in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz. Now those all come with a beefy Owner 4/0 hook, a built in screw lock and for you guys that like to rig shirts a recessed collar in the head. Here are a couple pictures, one with my 6-1/2 inch Half Jerk and the 9 inch Big Jerk baits, plus the hook itself. I can get these later for anyone interested, unless a bunch say the really want them, because I've got limited time to order at this point. http://www.ledgerunnerbaits.com/sledhead.jpg

Those are nice, do they come in heavier weights. Say like 2 or 3 oz?

Very nice! If they are made by Owner they must be sharp right out of the bag.

Are they made of lead or tin?

They are lead and no the 1/2 oz is the heaviest. For those sweetwater nuts, they have a 2/0 in 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4. The bigger 4/0 hook is on the 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz sizes. While I didn't order any in bulk, I will have all three packages with me at the show, so guys can take a look. I think I'd prefer my usual rigging on the 9" Big Jerk and probably the 7" Split Tail, as shown in this pic. The two bigger baits are rigged with an Owner 7/0 cutting point saltwater 90 degree jig hook and the smaller 6-1/2" Half Jerk and 5-1/2" Split Tail are rigged on the 5/0 size I use. When you get into the 4" baits, I'd switch to the 3/0. I will have bulk on all three sizes at the show, but not a tremendous supply (hint). http://www.ledgerunnerbaits.com/striperbaits1.jpg But for those smaller baits, this Sled Head hook is a very nice option. I've used a "rigging" style hook for tube baits before, which is what this design is based on and they are very snag resistant and good hookers. Anyone fishing those smaller baits, in really rocky spots and without the need for heavier weights (sorry Slip), these should be about the best bet out there for close to a snagless presentation.
