Jig Heads That Fish Actually See
Scientific research shows gamefish target the eyes of prey first. Trout Eye jig heads exploit this with oversized, vibrant painted eyes in five colors. They stand out on the bottom and in the water column.
Pair these with ZMan ElaZtech soft plastics for an inshore combination that catches trout, redfish, flounder, and more. The 3/16oz weight handles calm flats. The 1/4oz punches into wind and works deeper structure.

Oversized Eyes
Vibrant painted eyes in five colors give predator fish a target. Red, Pearl, Glow, Gold, and Chartreuse cover every water clarity condition.
Mustad 2/0 Hooks
Black nickel 2/0 hooks are sharp, corrosion-resistant, and strong enough for bull reds and doormat flounder.
Conical Keeper Barbs
Barbed keeper locks soft plastics in place through multiple casts and fish. No sliding, no replacement after every strike.
How to Fish ZMan Trout Eye Jig Heads
- Thread a ZMan soft plastic onto the jig head
- Cast to grass edges, oyster bars, or dock pilings
- Let the jig sink to the bottom
- Pop the rod tip up, then let the jig fall on a semi-slack line
- Watch for the line to twitch or go tight on the fall
