1/4 and 3/8 Ned Head with #1 Hook

Jig it, spin it, buzz it, if it's got a wire or a lead head, it can and will be discussed in here.

1/4 and 3/8 Ned Head with #1 Hook

Post by Drakestar » Sat Dec 17, 2022 12:07 pm

Does anybody know a heavy Ned head with #1 hook? Targeting those deep (40+ feet) winter fish.

I have a tungsten head like that here, so I know they exist. But it’s mixed in with all my other heads and I have no idea what brand it was. Picture attached (on the right, a head with 1/0 hook for comparison on the left). All hooks I see on Tackle Warehouse have 1/0 hooks or don’t specify the hook.

As far as Tungsten Ned’s go, it’s possible it’s an earlier Woo! with a #1 or might just be the Woo! Gamakatsu 1/0 side by side with a Swagger Mustad 2x Ultrapoint 2/0 (that’s what’s actually in their 3/8 size).

The Gamakatsu do run a little smaller and those look to me like Swagger and Woo! Ned’s.
