Mustad Ned Jig Head - Bulk Pack

The Mustad Ned Jig Head - Bulk Pack is a versatile finesse jig head built for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, combining a traditional mushroom-style head with Mustad's strong, sharp 2X Strong UltraPoint® hook and Grip-Pin® soft-plastic keeper.

Fish it with finesse worms, stick baits, small paddletails, craws and other soft plastics for everything from largemouth and smallmouth bass to snook, redfish, trout and other inshore species.

The bulk-pack format makes it an excellent option for anglers who regularly fish soft plastics and want plenty of jig heads ready for both fresh and saltwater applications.

Freshwater & Saltwater Versatility

Although the Ned rig became famous as a freshwater bass technique, this style of compact jig head is equally useful when saltwater fish are feeding on smaller forage.

Freshwater

An excellent choice for:

• Largemouth Bass

• Smallmouth Bass

• Spotted Bass

• Walleye

• Perch

• Trout

• Pike

• Other Freshwater Predators

Rig it with a finesse worm, stick bait, craw or small baitfish imitation and fish it along the bottom or through the water column.

Saltwater

The compact presentation and 2X Strong hook also make this an excellent light-tackle inshore jig head.

Use it for:

• Snook

• Redfish

• Speckled Trout

• Juvenile Tarpon

• Flounder

• Striped Bass

• Other Inshore Predators

Pair it with a small paddletail, jerkbait, shrimp imitation or finesse soft plastic when fish are feeding on smaller forage.

2X Strong Mustad UltraPoint® Hook

Mustad builds the Grip-Pin Ned Jig Head around its 32833NP-BN 2X Strong hook.

That added strength is especially important on a jig head designed to cross between freshwater and saltwater.

You still get a compact finesse presentation, but you're not relying on an extremely light-wire hook when a quality snook, redfish or larger bass eats the bait.

The hook also incorporates Mustad's 4.3 UltraPoint® technology and Opti-Angle Needle Point for fast penetration and dependable hooksets.

Grip-Pin® Soft Plastic Keeper

Mustad's PVC-coated Grip-Pin keeper is designed to secure the soft plastic without requiring a large molded collar.

The keeper helps reduce:

• Plastics sliding down the hook

• Bait movement during casting

• Constant repositioning

• Unnecessary damage to soft plastics

That's particularly valuable with smaller finesse plastics and softer saltwater baits that can tear after repeated casting.

Mushroom-Style Head

The straight-back molded mushroom head provides the compact profile associated with Ned-style fishing.

It can be:

• Dragged

• Hopped

• Shaken

• Swam

• Dead-sticked

• Bounced along the bottom

• Fished vertically

That versatility allows the same jig head to cover a wide range of freshwater and saltwater techniques.

Choosing a Weight

1/16 oz.

Best for extremely shallow water, calm conditions and situations where you want the slowest possible fall.

Excellent for subtle freshwater presentations and shallow inshore fishing.

1/8 oz.

A great all-around choice.

The 1/8 oz. provides enough weight for good casting while retaining the slow, natural presentation that makes finesse jig heads so effective.

3/16 oz.

A versatile middle ground when you need additional casting distance or better bottom contact without jumping all the way to a heavier jig.

1/4 oz.

Choose 1/4 oz. for deeper water, stronger current, wind or when you need to maintain contact with the bottom.

This can be particularly useful for inshore fishing where current and water movement often require more weight than a protected freshwater lake or pond.

Florida Freshwater Fishing

For Florida bass, this jig head is a great choice when fish become pressured or aren't responding to larger presentations.

Fish it around:

• Pond banks

• Canal edges

• Docks

• Sparse hydrilla

• Shell

• Hard bottom

• Openings in vegetation

• Deeper edges

A small soft plastic on a Ned-style head can produce bites when larger worms, moving baits and power-fishing techniques slow down.

Florida Inshore Fishing

This is also a very useful finesse presentation for Florida's saltwater fisheries.

Pair it with a compact soft plastic and fish:

• Dock lights

• Mangrove edges

• Canal systems

• Creek mouths

• Grass flats

• Potholes

• Bridges

• Seawalls

• Passes

• Current seams

When snook, redfish or trout are feeding on small bait, downsizing the entire presentation can make a significant difference.

Why Buy the Bulk Pack?

If you fish soft plastics regularly, jig heads are consumable tackle.

You'll lose them around structure, dull hooks over time and frequently need different weights as depth, current and conditions change.

A bulk pack is ideal for:

• Freshwater anglers

• Inshore anglers

• Tournament fishermen

• Guides

• Frequent soft-plastic anglers

• Multiple rigged rods

• Tackle-box restocking

Instead of treating these strictly as Ned-rig heads, keep several sizes available and use them anywhere a compact soft-plastic jig presentation makes sense.

Why Choose the Mustad Ned Jig Head?

The biggest advantage of this jig head is versatility.

It's light enough for true finesse bass fishing but built around a 2X Strong Mustad hook, giving anglers enough strength to confidently use it for inshore applications as well.

The mushroom head works naturally with small soft plastics, while the Grip-Pin keeper holds the bait securely without adding unnecessary bulk.

That makes it a useful jig head whether you're fishing a farm pond for largemouth bass or working dock lights and mangroves for snook.

Premier Tackle Take

We wouldn't limit the Mustad Ned Jig Head to traditional freshwater Ned-rig fishing.

For bass, 1/8 oz. is a great starting point for ponds, canals and lakes. Move lighter when you want a slower fall or heavier when depth and wind require it.

For Florida inshore fishing, we'd pair it with small paddletails, jerkbaits and finesse soft plastics for snook, redfish and trout. The 3/16 and 1/4 oz. sizes become especially useful when current or deeper water requires better control.

The 2X Strong UltraPoint hook is what makes the crossover particularly appealing. You get a small finesse presentation without automatically stepping down to a hook we'd consider too light for saltwater fish.

If you fish both freshwater and inshore, this is exactly the kind of jig head worth buying in bulk.
