Fishing Tackle & Gear News

Developed and successfully utilized in Japan for the popular mid-strolling technique with forward-facing sonar, the Horizon Head Jigs are designed to maintain a horizontal posture while imparting an extremely natural action to a bait. The Horizon Head Series comes equipped with an ultra-sharp Gamakatsu round bend jig hook with Nano Alpha finish. The Horizon Head LG and Horizon Head LG Weedless have a Tournament Grade Wire (TGW) hook that’s thinner, stronger, and sharper than the standard wire and features the Nano Alpha finish. The Nano Alpha finish is 2X slicker for improved hooking ratios and 4X more corrosion resistant than traditional finishes. This premium jighead series has three offerings: Horizon Head, Horizon Head LG and Horizon Head LG Weedless.

The Horizon Head was designed with the weight distributed on the shank of the hook which creates a horizontal profile when rigged with a soft plastic to simulate a realistic baitfish appearance when swimming or falling. It has a Gamakatsu round bend jig hook with Nano Alpha finish. It is available in three sizes ranging from 3/64-3/32 with hook sizes from 1/0-3/0.

The Horizon Head LG was designed for mid and deep strolling and features a Tournament Grade Wire (TGW) hook with Nano Alpha finish. Like the original Horizon Head, it also features a unique, elongated keeper which promotes a balanced horizontal presentation when retrieved or falling. The LG version features a larger gap hook with a focus on the hook tip angle and a center of gravity to produce a rolling action on the retrieve. It is available in four sizes ranging from 1/8oz to 1/5oz and three hook sizes from 1/0-3/0.
