Buckeye Lures Freestyle Head 1/4 oz – 3 Pack (Smallie Magic)

Freedom to fish your way

Freedom is a precious thing, and that’s what the Buckeye Freestyle Head delivers to your swimbaits. Designed by longtime pro Brent Ehrler, this head features a free-swinging screw lock that lets your chosen swimbait move with minimal restraint, unlocking a wide range of motion from strike to finish. The dual hook hangers on the top and bottom give anglers quick options for how to rig, enabling you to switch tactics mid-day if the conditions change.

What makes it versatile

Whether you’re fishing open water, gliding over a patch of vegetation, or skimming snaggy cover, the Freestyle Head stays responsive to your line, resisting binding and maintaining a natural curve as you retrieve. The ability to alter rigging without swapping heads helps you test actions on the water and respond to differing bass moods.

• Free-swinging screw lock provides uninhibited motion for your swimbait of choice.
• Top and bottom hook hangers offer flexible rigging options for different depths and cover.
• Rig the included treble on the bottom for a traditional presentation, or switch to the top when over vegetation or snags.
• Mustad hooks (sizes #6, #4, #2) are selected to fit the four available head sizes.
• Available in four sizes and six colors, including the Smallie Magic color option for bass-focused days.

Rigging tips and real-world use

Try the bottom rig for a classic swimbait glide with a steady pull. If you’re fishing shallow cover or heavy vegetation, move the hook hanger to the top to keep the bait from catching. The head’s balanced weight helps it track smoothly on a variety of retrieves, while the screw lock keeps the bait aligned through ripples and wakes.

• Bottom rig: conventional presentation with a treble on the bottom for solid hookups.
• Top rig: keep distance from cover and improve guard against snags.
• Hook sizing: 1/8 oz uses #6; 1/4 and 1/2 oz use #4; 3/4 oz uses #2.
• Colors and sizes: four weights and six finishes let you tailor to water color and bait choice.

Size, colors, and compatibility

The Buckeye Freestyle Head comes in four sizes (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 oz) and six color options, giving you a toolkit for different conditions. Pair with a swimbait you trust and consider Smallie Magic for bass-focused days, while keeping in mind that outcomes depend on many factors beyond gear.
