jig heads for ronz?
Anyone found a good jig head to pair with the 8” and 10” ronz. I’m looking for something around ¾ oz with a decent hook. The hooks on the standard ronz jig heads are junk. Straightened two last night with my drag set as loose as I’m comfortable with. Anyone try the andrus jig heads. Nice strong hooks but I’m not sure how the ronz will sit on it.

You need something with a good collar, because super glue doesn't stick to the oily fish scent that the Ronz tails have in them.

I wonder if you got a bad lot of hooks or something. I havent had any problems with the hooks yet. Ive only used the 3-5oz models, maybe the smaller ones are different.

I had a hook straighten out on the 3/4 Ronz head as well. Also had the same thing happen on Kalins. For what I have found out there for 3/4 ounce jig heads, the Ronz and Kalins have been the best quality but have had the hook bend on a heavy fish with moderate drag. Maybe a change will be made or another product will come about.

I was thinking of trying the one's andrus makes that are intended to tie bucktails on (the smiling bill type). The ones joe has don't seam to have a big enough collar. maybe I'll get a mold and play around this winter with drilling out a 3/4 oz mold to accept a 7/0 or 8/0 hook.
I haven't tried the heavier ronz heads so they may have stronger hooks, just way too heavy for where I fish.

I like the wobbleheads, just not with the ronz. Took some nice fish with the wobblehead and a Surf Asylum Reel Eel.
