01FISHING TACKLE
Precision in every drop
The Vike round jig head is a quiet tool for the angler who values precision over brute force. Its dense tungsten core packs significant weight into a small, unobtrusive form, allowing for delicate presentations in clear water or around tight cover.
This pack contains three 3/16 oz heads, each fitted with a size 2/0 hook. It is suited to finesse techniques where detecting subtle bites matters, offering a tactile connection between the line and the lakebed that lighter materials often miss.
MATERIALS
Tungsten density and sensitivity
Tungsten is significantly denser than lead, allowing the head to remain small while maintaining its weight. This hardness translates directly to feel; the vibration travels efficiently through the line, letting the angler distinguish between gravel, mud, or wood. The material also presents a smaller physical profile, reducing the chance of snagging on underwater obstacles.
FINISH
Dull nickel for stealth
A dull nickel finish coats the tungsten body, muting the shine that can sometimes alert fish to the presence of the lure. This low-visibility surface helps ensure the fish strikes the bait rather than the sinker. The finish is practical for anglers targeting cautious species in well-stocked waters where visual acuity is high.
FIT
Hook size and weight balance
The 3/16 oz weight is positioned within the range suitable for shallow to mid-depth water, typically up to ten metres. Paired with a size 2/0 hook, this configuration balances the need for a secure hold on the soft plastic with the ability to present it naturally. It is a specific setup for matching certain bait profiles without overpowering them.
DETAILS
Three heads per pack
The package contains three individual jig heads, providing enough spares for a session without committing to a large quantity. The compact carton measures 12 by 7 by 1 centimetre, making it easy to store in a tackle box drawer. At 0.1 kg, the total package weight is negligible, adding no burden to a travel kit.
