Advice on Bullet Head Jigs

[plankton]

I'll second the need for some bullet heads with good hooks. I also use the Kalins 3/4 oz. heads and the wire hook in them is suspect, but they're the best I've been able to find. SOL sells real nice shad and ball jigs with upsized hooks, but no bullet heads. I may get some of their 3/4 oz. ball heads and try those on my 7" sluggos, at that size the circumference of the ball head might be small enough to be somewhat streamlined with the rubber. It would be great if Pt. Jude started to make something to fill this niche, adding to their already excellent line of products of which I own more than a few of already (and need to stock up on at the shows as well).

Owner makes one that might be a tad stronger than Kalin.

I wish I had the room to add a molding station. Poisoned by rod building
and fly tying that takes up the bulk of the room in a small apartment. But I'm waters edge so that's the tradeoff...even though it's getting mighty wet right now. lol

3/4 oz is what I mostly atleast for where I fish. I just checked out Boone heads. Looks to be a quality hook but don't have it in my hands...and of course they have 1/2 and 1oz, no 3/4.

There has to be a bunch of anglers who are in the same boat. Do you....you.....feel like I do?

The hook in the kalin 3/4 oz bullet I believe is stronger than the owner..
I have had the trouble with the small owner hook never the kalins..
I make a 3.4 oz bullet head with a 7/0 5319 owner jig hook.U can also substitute a variety of o'shaughnessy type hooks with a size #1 sinker eyelet..I do this also.
