A project two and a half years in the making, the Daiwa Bait Junkie Heavy Wire 2X Jig Heads are finally here. Designed in collaboration between Daiwa Australia’s product development team, long-time Daiwa angler Kris Hickson and with input from Australian lure-making stalwart Dan Stead, the Bait Junkie Jig Heads offer a unique feature set that elevates performance for an often overlooked category. It all starts with the hook, and the Daiwa Bait Junkie Jig Heads are built around quality BKK hooks in combination with Daiwa’s SaqSas hook coating, a super-slippery Teflon-like coating that increases the penetrating power of the hook point, providing a superior hook up ratio. Available in both a 2X strong BKK heavy wire and hook with weights and hook sizes to suit a very wide range of fishing styles and conditions.

The totally unique bait keeper is the first thing to stand out, a design that evolved over the best part of 18 months and over 25 different prototypes. The goal? To create a jig head bait keeper that performed exceptionally well with Daiwa’s stretchy Elastomax material, eliminating the annoying occurrence of your plastic being pulled down over the keeper and balling up into a twisted mess. The head design of the Daiwa Bait Junkie Jig Head is a mostly cylinder-shaped concept with a flat back for optimal clean rigging and a flattened chin that offers a ‘tail up’ posture when your bait comes to rest on the bottom. The Daiwa Bait Junkie Jig Heads also come in a resealable zip lock bag, which is great to keep your jig heads in good condition for a long time. There's also a sticker that indicates jig head weight and size that's easily removable and can be re-attached to a tackle box or storage tray for easy identification when you’re carrying a box full of jig heads in your boat or bag.
