Announcing the TACTICALBASSIN FINESSE SWIMBAIT HEAD! This new head is designed to fill a huge void for bass fishermen. When heavy hooks are too much but you’re not looking for a micro hook either, the TacticalBassin Finesse Swimbait Head is exactly what you’re searching for! This new head incorporates a medium wire 4/0 hook that pairs perfectly with 3 1/2 inch to 5 inch swimbaits and paddle tails.
Many companies offer tiny finesse heads and big heavy wire heads but few have heads that fit the middle (which is exactly where most fishermen are). For this project we partnered with Dirty Jigs Tackle and the already proven design of the Matt Allen Swimbait Head (see link below). We used the exact head shape (fantastic profile), same 30 degree line tie (destabilization to get more bites), and proven twin keeper system (single wire keeper paired with a lead collar keeper). By working from this already proven head design we were able to compare hooks and wire sizes with ease. It didn’t take long to find the perfect hook, a medium wire 4/0.
This 4/0 hook will land big fish with ease but won’t overpower smaller baits when a finesse approach is needed. The reduced wire size (as compared to the Matt Allen Swimbait Head) will also allow anglers to fish this head on lighter line and tackle, allowing for more bites in clear water finesse situations. If you loving throwing small swimbaits and paddle tails and need a hook to “do it all”, this is your hook!
If you’re in a big bass environment, especially around heavy cover, the Matt Allen Swimbait Head is your best bet. If you’re throwing micro swimbaits like a 2.8 keitech, a Guppy Head with its small 1/0 hook is a great match, but if you’re fishing anywhere in the middle, its time to try the TacticalBassin Finesse Swimbait Head.

God is good
I just re stocked up on both of these heads. Should be here on Wednesday from TW. Love them!
I just ordered these and had no idea these heads were from you guys. I just got the tennessee shad
im finally ordering a pack tomorrow. Im up north so gotta wait anyways lol
Man I love the Matt Allen head I gotta get some of these!
I have been crushing Stripers and Largemouths on these, 1/4 and 3/8 Killer heads!
All I know is i love the original head. 1/4 ounce is my work horse. When I want alot of action and body roll, i use your head. When I want less or no action I use a squadron head. Gotta get me some of those finesse heads
Congrats to you two. I know you've got a few different baits, colors out there. Pretty kool to have baits with your name on it. Next level fishing.
Thanks for all the info guys
Congrats! I’ve been using other heads for that size for years and I’m glad you guys got this done so I can stick with Dirty Jigs and support you guys.
Just so people know, he says you can get away with throwing this on 8lb line, but I would not try it. After getting these and seeing the hook diameter, 10-15lb line is probably the sweet spot. Anything under a quality 10lb flouro/mono will be sketchy. This hook is not light enough for 8lb.
Which head would you guys recommend for 3.25” swimbaits on a Flash Mob Jr.?
I really like the channel and recommended baits. I'm curious why the finesse head is more?
Shouldn't it technically be cheaper using lighter hook and weights?
That fineness swimbait head is like getting a popeyes chicken sandwich
Congrats I can't wait!!!!
STOKED!!!
Fantastic! Can’t wait to try it. I’m still not clear on why the need for different weighted swimjig heads. Is it really just water column depth related or is there more to it on when to use 1/8, 1/4, 1/2?
Having to wait till December to get mine, but think it's gonna be worth the wait! Just got into bass fishing a couple months ago. Thanks for the tips!
First time I've seen y'all recommend the Dobyns Xtasy. Might have missed it, but if you haven't already, would be curious for your thoughts on those rods as compared to the NRX.
these two dudes have double-handedly, vicariously helped me into being a pseudo-tourney angler in the 6 months ive binged on the content. just wish i could get on the loomis flow team.
Looks like already out of stock 😒
