I'm pretty sure the jig head shown below from Bass Assassin used to come in weights up to 1.5 ounces, but I can't seem to find the heavier weights anywhere. The ones I am referring to had a lead collar where you see the wire screw in the photo.

I loved these heads, the sloping bottoms would help keep them from sinking too deep in current when fishing shallow areas; they made excellent heads for tying deceiver-style bucktails for the herring runs.

Does anyone know if these are still available -- or -- can anyone recommend a jig head that has a design for lifting it rather than driving it deeper like a lima bean/Upperman?

Thanks.

I was looking around for these the other day and couldn't find them. Bass assassin was selling them on clearance a few years back for like 25 cents a head so I think they have may have been discontinued. They are good heads for soft plastics.

Thanks, JLH.

Somewhere in the basement are some of these banana jig heads. It looks like the design might help the jig from running deep. Can anyone comment on these?
