NLBN Tuna 4X Super Duty Jig Heads

BKK 4X-strong hook. Bright tin finish. Built to stop bluefin.

The NLBN Tuna 4X Super Duty Jig Heads are the heaviest-duty jig heads NLBN makes — built around a custom BKK hook with 4X-strong wire that doesn't bend out under sustained tuna pressure. The inward-looking point design provides superior hook-setting and holding power once you drive it home, the bright tin coating delivers serious corrosion resistance and adds flash that draws strikes from distance, and the one-piece solid construction eliminates the failure points that cheaper jig heads have. Fits both 5" and 8" NLBN baits. Five weights from 3/4 oz to 3 oz, five proven colors covering offshore and inshore work.

Why We Like It

The BKK 4X hook is what makes this jig head — cheaper jig heads with 1X or 2X hooks straighten out on serious tuna pressure, and you lose the fish at the boat. The 4X wire holds, and the inward-looking point design means the hook stays in once you drive it home. NLBN has earned a reputation as one of the best soft-bait builders in the business, and the Super Duty jig head matches that quality. The 1.5 oz and 2 oz Limesider go first every year — striper guys know.
